In this classic 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.

To quote economist Milton Friedman — praised by Reagan at CPAC in 1981, probably unknown to most attendees today — the conference is “free to choose.” But there are consequences to turning CPAC into a de facto Trump rally. https://t.co/aLwOE5FSWU

Working paper with @JamiePavlik and @YangZhouEcon that should be available by the end of the week. We find that Hong Kong 's free market policies were indeed a unique experiment but in quite unexpected ways that differ from the Milton Friedman story in Free to Choose #econhist https://t.co/j2fIlrzxr7
