About This Book

It can be hard for busy professionals to find the time to read the latest books. Stay up to date in a fraction of the time with this concise guide. Capitalism and Freedom outlines the Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman's views on the relationship between economics and politics. Specifically, he believes that economic freedom is necessary both in and of itself, and because it is inextricably linked to political freedom. He applies this insight to a host of contemporary problems to argue that the situation could be improved by what he refers to as "competitive capitalism". Capitalism and Freedom has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since it was first published in 1962, and was described by The Times Literary Supplement as "one of the most influential books published since the war". Friedman himself was one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, and his ideas have been adopted by governments around the world. This book review and analysis is perfect for:
•Students of economics and politics
•Anyone with an interest in the history of economic thought
•Anyone looking to understand the role of the government in the economy About 50MINUTES.COM | BOOK REVIEW
