Essays on Politics and Economics by Milton Friedman

Milton Friedman is one of the most famous economists in history. He revolutionized understanding of the Great Depression, helped establish the Chicago school of economics, and was awarded a Nobel Prize. But eclipsing these achievements is the vital role he played at the crux of the debate over capitalism. It was Friedman who in the 1970s almost single-handedly kept the argument for capitalism alive, stressing that the free market was the only way to achieve prosperity and retain personal liberty.
