What Would Milton Say?

A major source of objection to a free economy is it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself. - Milton Freidman, Capitalism & Freedom, p.15

The latest release from Free To Choose Network is coming to your area!

Unlikely Heroes of the Arab Spring is a one-hour documentary examining recent events in the Middle East through the prism of economics and property rights, a perspective not often considered in traditional media outlets. Beginning with a dramatic act by a young street vendor in Tunisia, we watch as governments are toppled and a spontaneous order of informal markets holds the region together in a tenuous stability.
