Milton Friedman is a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and the Paul Snowden Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Chicago. In 1976 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics. He has written a number of books, including two with his wife, Rose D. Friedman—the bestselling Free to Choose and Two Lucky People: Memoirs, the latter published by the University of Chicago Press.
Rose D. Friedman has written two books with her husband Milton Friedman, the bestselling "Free to Choose" and "Two Lucky People: Memoirs", the latter published by the University of Chicago Press.
Free to Choose (1980) is a book and a ten-part television series broadcast on public television by economists Milton and Rose D. Friedman that advocates free market principles.
Free to Choose: A Personal Statement maintains that the free market works best for all members of a society, provides examples of how the free market engenders prosperity, and maintains that it can solve problems where other approaches have failed. Published in January 1980, the 297 page book contains 10 chapters.
Milton Friedman won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1976. Contrary to normal practice the book was written after the TV series was produced, although the line "Basis for the acclaimed public television triumph" is written on the front cover, using the program transcripts as reference. The book was on the United States best sellers list for 5 weeks.
PBS telecast the series, beginning in January 1980; the general format was that of Dr. Friedman visiting and narrating a number of success and failure stories in history, which Dr. Friedman attributes to capitalism or the lack thereof (e.g. Hong Kong is commended for its free markets, while India is excoriated for relying on centralized planning especially for its protection of its traditional textile industry). Following the primary show, Dr. Friedman would engage in discussion with a number of selected persons, such as Donald Rumsfeld (then of G.D. Searle & Company).
The series was rebroadcast in 1990 with Linda Chavez moderating the episodes. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ronald Reagan, Steve Allen and others give personal introductions for each episode in the series. This time, after the documentary part, Friedman sits down with a single opponent to debate the issues raised in the episode.

評分从读书馆借来很久,一直未能静下心来细读。 今晨等洗衣机时瞄了两眼,关于管制那一章。联想现实,相信能带给中国的读者很多启发。 一个缺少信仰的社会,需要这种思潮。 中国不是没有思潮,思潮也无所谓好坏,只是现在的中国,需要改变的确实太多。 自由,...

評分自由原本是一个哲学上的概念,最初的定义是善与宗教救赎,但伴随着18世纪以来,国家政治权力的逐渐扩大,自由也就成为潜伏在政治层面上是亟不可待被救赎的词语。政治上的自由表现在统治者对意识形态的控制,这种控制并不单纯表现在精神奴役方面,更大程度上表现在对经济自由的...
同時看徐中約的近代史和這本書的結果就是,真是生氣啊!同樣的18世紀彆人已經有獨立宣言和亞當斯密的國富論,我們還在大興文字獄燒毀前朝書籍禁止海務。滿族人簡直就是要建一個大籠子把漢人給埋起來~
评分Audiobook是英國人讀的(說服力倍增
评分Some of the smartest theoretical arguments I have encountered so far - it took me some brainpower to come up with potential counterargument or even loopholes in Friedman's proposed policies. Yet almost 3 decades later we are still at almost the same place, if not worse, watching another tide of intellectual environment turning.
评分終於看完瞭,去年的遺留任務。Friedman有些觀點影響到我。但如今自由似乎成瞭一項犧牲品。如果我們為其他目標主動放棄一部分自由,要花多長時間纔能重新將其取迴呢?
评分原版看起來比譯版舒服很多,對專業學習很有幫助,除此之外說到的自由正義,和論證的嚴謹思維都有很多亮點
