Tyranny of the Status Quo

Book • 1984
In 'Tyranny of the Status Quo', Milton and Rose Friedman explore the phenomenon where governments tend to maintain the status quo despite initial promises of change.

They discuss how leaders like Reagan and Thatcher faced resistance from an 'iron triangle' of special interests, bureaucrats, and politicians.

The book also touches on various economic and social issues of the early 1980s, including government spending, inflation, and education.
