Summary: Read it twice
Comment: A fantastic piece of literature. The concise nature of the book belies the depth of knowledge and purpose of Friedman's writings, but then that is what he intended. I find I take more out of the book each time I read it. A must for any serious economist and to any one willing to gain a clearer picture of the political economy and the forces at play.
Do yourself a big favour and read this and if are a socialist then be warned, the truth will hurt! (If Mises's work has not already done that)

Summary: Friedman is best on Economics this is a must read
Comment: excellent read and should be a must for all college freshmen also should read "free to choose" by milton and rose friedman
Customer Rating:
Summary: considering current events, he left something out!!!!
Comment: the title above says it all.
something missing in his considerations.
perhaps should include a chapter on human character and the greed that appears to run rampant in the higher levels of the economic ladder.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This man is a piece of garbage.
Comment: I literally almost vomitted reading this book for class. This father of Neoliberalism, the murderer Pinochet's pal, has caused immense suffering and destruction in the world with his proven-to-fail free market capitalism. Thank goodness he's dead. Lets pray there won't be another one as evil as him around for a while.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book, life changing reading!
Comment: Reading this book gave me a whole new perspective about life, economics and individual responsibility. It's a must for everyone, even if you are not a student of economics.

Selected by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war"
How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of his immensely influential economic philosophy—one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. The result is an accessible text that has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on.
