Theory and Experiments With Markets
Free To Choose Network is a nonprofit media group with a global reach and a passion for big ideas. The network originally launched with Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman’s groundbreaking 1980 television series “Free to Choose,” and still believes that people—and societies—flourish when free to shape their own lives, pursue personal goals, and make choices that reflect their values. Through smart, accessible storytelling, their programs spark conversations about freedom, responsibility, and what it means to live well.

Economists Charles Plott and Kenneth Arrow explore how economists design and test market behavior in lab settings. From auctions to incentives, their insights reveal how experimental economics sharpens real-world policy and deepens our understanding of theory.
