Couldn't that "mail" service in Rochester NY now be called a messenger service and be in business? I se it as a local version of FedEx "If you have to get it across town by the end of the day".
A brilliant series that more people in this country, regardless of political stance, should watch. The fact that this video itself has only 6.6 thousand views is despicable. This series was a primary factor in my decision of majoring in Economics almost 4 years ago, and I hope it opens others' minds as much as it has my own. Milton Friedman is as much as an economic genius as Albert Einstein is a Scientific genius, and it's a shame that so many people are unaware of his existence.
I ran across this video series while looking for something else. Glad I ran across it! There's SOOOOO much information in this video series, that's STILL pertinent to TODAY'S issues. Thanks for uploading this:)
Thanks a lot for sharing this great series. It is an eye opener. I will forward it to more and more people. Freedom is our real wealth and we have to preserve it.
Milton Friedman for President in 2012. I know he's dead, but if we'd just do what Milton would, we'd have better governance than under Obama (or Bush).
"How to stay free" The name should be changed to "Wage slaves". "Free to choose" LOL! Like they do in America. They make electric cars but put the prices so high that even if you wanted one to save the environment you wouldn't be able to afford it! Ahah! Suckers!
@boumar19721972 i'm sure YOUR country is very green, because you still ride around on horses.
in the civilized world, technology costs money, and advanced technology(like electric cars), costs a lot of money.
still, i don't see any communists inventing electric cars--the best the soviet block could do was the shitty Trabant...and guess what, IT was very expensive AND it polluted a lot. :)
@paulstroie Canada. I just tell it like it is. Freedom is an illusion! No one is truly free, not even the animals. They all have to live by the laws of nature.
@boumar19721972 dude I've seen the comedies, and I've seen real poverty, poverty is not what you call in Canada.... and poverty comes from the lack of freedom, nothing more...I see your an ecologist, I challenge you to go see a less free and a less capitalist country, and see how the state takes care of mother earth.. I get your an idealist , but you can't have your cake and eat it too...
it's amazing how difficult it is to argue these common sense truths with anyone at my university--students or professors. more people should watch these, if only because they'll believe Friedman more, since he got the Nobel.
but the truth of freedom should be self-evident. a great series.
ps: if youtube tries to take this down, just tell them "plagiarism is the highest flattery"
@ZamolxisReborn Milton Friedman is in "zeitgeist moving forward", and it's very interesting what he says in that documentary. You can really see hi true nature.
@boumar19721972 i am sorry that you seem to be an intellectual infant--from the few minutes i watched, that video is utopian and entirely unrealistic.
friedman accepts the nature of man, and points out the best way to improve all our lives, not unrealizable through utopias, but through freedom.
@ZamolxisReborn I was about to continue this conversation but I went to see your channel and it said you are from the United -States. Then I said to myself it would be like explaining rocket science to a 2 year old child so that's it. Done you win in your mind.
...but only because i was born and lived most of my life in a 3rd world country, THEN moved to the US--so you're damn right i think America is better. i KNOW it's better.
i've seen your "ideal" society(i lived in it), and you can keep it!
@ZamolxisReborn its ok but it certainly isn't at the top of any human development list, mostly not even in the top 10. US also comes in at number 17 in the democracy index
Truly, Milton Friedman would want us to have access to this program without paying a dime for it, for that is what makes capitalism great...oh wait.

@ZamolxisReborn Friedman had a very clever phrase:
"people vote with their feet"
i am just one of the countless millions who have voted with their feet for freedom.
however imperfect the US may be, it's infinitely better than much of the rest of the world.
