Capitalism and freedom

Book • 1962

In this influential book, Milton Friedman discusses the role of economic capitalism in a liberal society.

He argues that economic freedom is a precondition for political freedom and advocates for limited government intervention.

The book covers various topics, including the relation between economic and political freedom, the role of government in a free society, monetary policy, international trade arrangements, and the role of government in education.

Friedman's work has been highly influential in economic theory and policymaking, and the book has been translated into eighteen languages and sold over half a million copies since its publication in 1962.
