Description: In this book, Robert Leeson and Charles Palm have assembled an amazing collection of Milton Friedman's best works on freedom. Even more amazing is that the selection represents only 1 percent of the 1,500 works by Friedman that Leeson and Palm have put online in a user-friendly format and an even smaller percentage if you include their archive of Friedman's audio and television recordings, correspondence, and other writings. This book and the larger online collection are sorely needed and very welcome. Milton Friedman deserves to be read in the original by generation after generation. --
Review Quotes:
"Milton Friedman lives on because his ideas are forever and his expository skills are unsurpassed, as shown in this book of special importance in today's world."
--George P. Shultz, Thomas W. and Susan B. Ford Distinguished Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, former US Secretary of State, Labor, and Treasury, and director, Office of Management and Budget
"We live in an age when political, economic, religious and speech freedoms are both under attack and taken for granted. That makes these penetrating insights and trenchant analyses by their great champion, Milton Friedman, essential reading for all, both those who value freedom's great blessings and those who don't but should."
--Michael J. Boskin, Tully M. Friedman Professor of Economics at Stanford University and former chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers
"At a moment when free societies and their defenders are under growing ideological assault, Milton Friedman's incisive essays powerfully remind us of what it means to be free--and why it matters. This is a luminous, timely, and necessary book."
--George H. Nash, historian, author of The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America Since 1945 and a three-volume biography of Herbert Hoover, and a senior fellow at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal
