Capitalism and Freedom

Milton Friedman

Capitalism and Freedom asks how a society can coordinate economic life without surrendering individual choice. Friedman links competitive markets to political liberty, then tests that relationship through money, trade, education, discrimination, monopoly, occupational licensing, taxation, welfare, and poverty relief. The result is a framework for judging when government protects freedom—and when it expands coercion.
