Free to Choose by Milton Friedman & Rose Friedman

Product Details

About the Book

Free to Choose is the landmark bestseller by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman and his wife, economist Rose Friedman, published in 1980 as a companion to their acclaimed PBS documentary series of the same name. The book presents a passionate, accessible case for free markets and individual liberty, arguing that the relationship between personal freedom and economic freedom is inseparable — and that decades of expanding government intervention, however well-intentioned, have consistently produced unintended consequences that undermine both.

Moving through chapters on the power of the market, the tyranny of economic controls, inflation, education, consumer protection, and worker welfare, the Friedmans argue that free markets remain the most efficient and effective mechanism for allocating resources and promoting genuine human wellbeing. Using real-world examples and case studies, they contend that government bureaucracies meant to protect consumers, workers, and students frequently produce bloat, waste, and outcomes that serve narrow special interests rather than the public good. The book culminates in a proposed "economic Bill of Rights" advocating low inflation, flatter taxes, and greater occupational freedom — a comprehensive, ardently argued vision for how society can restore both prosperity and liberty by trusting individuals to make their own choices.
