The power of the market --- The tyranny of controls --- The anatomy of crisis --- Cradle to grave --- Created equal --- What's wrong with our schools? --- Who protects the consumer? --- Who protects the worker? --- The cure for inflation --- The tide is turning.
In this classic discussion about economics, freedom, and the relationship between the two, Milton and Rose Friedman explain how our freedom has been eroded and our prosperity undermined through the explosion of laws, regulations, agencies, and spending in Washington, and how good intentions often produce deplorable results when government is the middleman. The Friedmans also provide remedies for these ills--they tell us what to do in order to expand our freedom and promote prosperity. New Foreword by the authors.
