How to Stay Free...

Democracies have only recently been considered desirable. Historically, it was feared that democracies always self destruct when citizens, forgetting that you cannot remove want and misery through legislation, insist on government actions that physically and morally bankrupt their nation. Friedman explains why the United States has so far avoided this outcome and how we can continue to do so. This program includes an interview of Dr. Friedman by Lawrence E. Spivak.
So much of what Dr.Friedman talks about in the 1980 is so relevant even now and he says why it will be relevant forever. It is a great reminder that everyone is incharge of their own economic destiny no social program or government can solve it for them.
