shame, this is united states of america and we show more concern for middle east, send millions in aid or make war and here at home our people die in streets...friedman says others will always put their interests ahead of your own, not hard to understand...but jesus christ died for us..someone who did put others ahead of himself...even when they might not deserve it
I find it funny that Jamie Johnson continues to spend money and hassle Milton Friedman. Friedman has seen more economic practice and has done more work in his life than you can shake a stick at Jamie. Suck it up. Lol you went to school for Journalism? Get a degree in Economics and come back to me.
@bml0624 Yes Johnson is clearly so far out of his league. Friedman clearly finds the flaws in his argument and simply asks to him clarify. Any appearance of arrogance is due to the fact that he has already gone over all of this. Go watch Friedman's video series from 30 years ago and he answers the questions the same way. It is very evident that Johnson has not done his homework and cannot articulate a point. He was really a journalism major? What did they teach him there....
They taught him how to not contribute to society and how to waste an old man's time. I love watching rich people try to empathize with the poor. Especially the ignorant ones such as Jamie. I grew up in poverty and he doesn't know a damn thing about it. Spoiled brat.
@BosPercussion Actually Johnson is correct.The collapse or near collapse of our financial system was from lack of government intervention.Lehman bros,Goldman Sachs,Bank of America, and all the other banks according to Milton put themselves above their stockholders and country,pun intended.Keynesian economics was needed to stop the blood from flowing.
@themetalgod21 No Milton was correct in that yes it would have been bad, but the market would have found a way to correct it. In your previous assertion it seems obvious you're not familiar with Friedman's core tenets other than what is shown here. He believes failure to be a critical element in a free market economy - when that is eliminated (through gov't intervention of assorted varieties), the free market place does not function effectively.
@BosPercussion Milton was totally wrong as it was the lack of regulation that caused the economic problem i.e. the selling of derivatives and hedge funds and ponzi schemes that led to the problems not nationalization of the public's infrastructure as in communist countries.How long were we suppose to wait until the thieves gave the money back to the people they stole it from??The government is now suing these banks to recover the public money.Unregulated capitalism is a free for all.
Once upon a time Chairman-Mao said that, "A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another". Got it ; ha ha ha ha!
Wow, epic simple-mindedness from Milton Friedman beginning around 5:00. Assuming that our civilization isn't vulnerable to the same things that toppled others? That's not 'conservative', that just wild-eyed idealism.
First the video shows how the government completely failed to provide for the people, and then it tries to convince people that people who advocate small government are immoral... Inconsistency...
2 unpaid wars now 10 years, 10 years of Bush tax-cuts, deregulation, jobs shipped to China and elsewhere. Obama has added Libya to the war mix, extended the Bush tax-cuts for 2 years and kept most of the deregulation in place, jobs still being shipped with very few coming back. Where's the change we can believe in? Our govt. has grown too big but not the reasons Friedman implied but because the US is bankrupting it's own country for the corporations, military industrial complex and the wealthy.
Condi Rice & Milton Friedman are devils. This doc is very telling considering it was filmed 2 yrs before the economic collapse. Friedman was proven to be 100% wrong in his statement at 4:35. Hats off to Jaime Johnson, who proved possibly the few elite anglosaxons may still be able to save us from the parasitic vampirism of world jewry. It seems J. Johnson went through hell to put this doc out. I can't imagine how tough it must be for him & Nicole Buffett.
@mondocrat How? He's saying for Jamie's argument( and John Lewis') to work people have to leave self interest - he doesn't think that's very likely nor will result in an efficient economic engine. The economic collapse (self interest of bankers) and squandering (self interest of others) of the stimulus both show that to be the case. History has proven him correct. Look at Estonia as an example of a pure Friedman economic model - it has boomed since divorcing from the USSR.
@themetalgod21 From Wikipedia about Chile (the nation Frances Fox Piven believed would have been blighted with Friedman's ideas): Sound economic policies, maintained consistently since the 1980s, have contributed to steady economic growth in Chile and have more than halved poverty rates
@BosPercussion Your not being honest.Friedmans policy had failed and Pinochet nationalized (which is a communist maneuver) the mines in the 1980's and then Chile was on it;'s way to recovery.You can't have it both ways.Pinochet did anti capitalistic measures to cure the problem and then Friedman wants to take credit for it.The US did a communist ,socialist move when it unrolled the tarp plan.All along there is needed intervention to fix capitalists inherent problems.
@BosPercussion Anytime you say to bunch of people the store is open and take what you like, everyone will run in side and take as much as they can carry.That is capitalism!!!! There's no way that style of government or economic model will ever work.It causes war,genocide, and poverty.
People need to listen to Robert Reich and Noam Chomsky. I've been a democratic socialist for 40+ years. The ruling-class has ruined this country. On survival mode, from the island of Kauai.
“When our society collapses it will not be for the reasons you say, it will be because our government has grown too big, because we have not held government down to size.” -Milton Friedman
Sounds like a grim prophecy becoming more true every day. I wonder if the hack who made this documentary is paying attention.

Sounds like a grim prophecy becoming more true every day. I wonder if the hack who made this documentary is paying attention.
Also, to the comments about looters - wait until you're in a survival situation like that, and see how rationally you act. The best of us would loot under those circumstances, and these people have been have-nots for a long time. Poverty breeds a dark kind of opportunism. Of course it's wrong to steal, but at least try to walk a mile in their (possibly stolen) shoes. That's not liberal rhetoric - it's just being kind.
What that cab driver said really brought it home - in their attempts to build a barrier of comfort around themselves, they shut out the life experiences that teach us the most important lesson - that love and patience are priceless. This whole documentary made me wonder how it must feel to be so spiritually (not in a religious way) and emotionally bankrupt that someone would say the things these wealthy people say without even a hint of shame. I find myself feeling sorry for them.
Milton got pissed because this guy is spouting college freshman level non-sense at a Nobel prize winner. Watch an argument with Francis Fox Piven, someone far more radical than this douche and he still doesn't get upset. Mostly because she was/is an intelligent person that can at least support and research her POV in an academic way (even if it is flawed). All this guy is doing is restating American left talking points and it pissed Milton off.
Milton Friedman was a smart man, and had much to contribute to economic understand but his success was his failure. He couldn't see that his good criticism of other economic theories did not mean that his theories were any good ether. He was stuck in a religious ideology of free markets without realize how flawed it really was because he couldnt. His whole life work would have been for nothing if he had.
Does it matter what the rich say? If it's to keep other peoples' paws off their money and actually increase their wealth wouldn't they say whatever it takes? Just as long as the masses buy it. I bet you if they could say "Supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus" and be done with it they would. :)
I'm sure they're exhausted about talking about how their wealth benefits 90% of the country, when I'm sure that most - especially those 4th and 5th generation wealthy kids don't really give a sh*t.
I'm curious about the context of some of these clips from Katrina. I was pretty shocked the George W. Bush comments, but I noticed that the comment "People already on the edge of poverty were pushed to increasingly desperate measures to survive." was accompanied by footage of people looting clothing and shoes. Where was the footage of folks looting TV's?
as they're showing footage of people looting televisions.
@TypeAConcierge Strange that the looting was described as an act of survival.Because in a crisis like that you need water,food and medical care.What were those people going to do with clothes,Tv's.etc, at that moment ?
Milton Fried LOOK at us now the worst economical collapse since the Great Depression. I work my ass off for these people to stay wealthy only to struggle more an more each year. They are nothing without our CHEAP labor.
interesting that they put Condoleezza Rice in this film. when the President was an asshole she took the heat and took one for the team. a class act. say what you want about her I don't get the same vibe from Hillary Clinton.
I love the scene with the cab driver... somehow it brings you back to reality. It grounds the film by clearly communicating that wealth is not exclusive to people with money. Spiritual richness will always far outweigh ridiculous wealth...Love the line...taught me to accept people for who they are not who I want them to be...priceless
Citing the Katrina fiasco/disaster/tragedy was not the best thing to do to bolster his point. The government dropped the ball in New Oleans. So we should expect them to redistribute wealth in a fair, equal and efficient manner?
@zurichdublin - yes, redistributing wealth is worrisom, especially when it comes out of a fat cat's purse, and into a working man's. Just can't be havin' that, can we? Better call out the guards, load the rubber bullets and tear gas. Can't be cuttin' up this pie evenly, especially when you have the "divine right".
Here's the point; GOVERMENT CONTROLLED THE AID TO THE KATRINA VICTIMS...THOSE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO 'REDISTRIBUTE' THE WEALTH THE PEOPLE WORKED FOR. How they are going to redistribute that wealth historically always has and always will FAIL because the 'redistributers' have no personal stake in the redistribution of that wealth. They are almost mentally inferior to the minds that it takes to create that wealth.
@zurichdublin what you say sounds true. But if you look a bit further you will realize that the rich pull the strings of the gov. through lobbying and campaign donations to uphold their interests first. So the Gov and the top 2% are in unison to what is priority and what can be neglected. What will curtail human greed? I don't know....John Travolta flew his private plane to the Katrina site and distributed food and medicine to the victims. Other rich folks could have done the same but didn't..
Travolta did that? Damn. That's impressive. He's a Christian Scientist. I know some of those people and they are cool as fuck.
The super rich do control the government to a large extent. The way things are going now, the rich are losing money just like everyone else. The US is falling apart, and will end up like Brazil within 10-20 years. Then you are going to see why Capitalism is better. Life in the US sucks now compared to 20 years ago because we are more socialist now.
@zurichdublin Most rich & most gov. officials are greedy bastards who don’t care about the poor. Thank goodness for those few humans who are rich & feel an obligation to help the hopeless. I gave you an example of a man, John Travolta, who took matters into his hands & did GOOD for the ones in need. You, not knowing how to debate in an intellectual manner jumped to demean his efforts based on his religion which has nothing to do with the actions he took to help the Katrina victims.
Of course Milton Friedman got rid of him. An intellect like him should have never granted a blooter like this queer Jamie Johnson an interview in the first place. Let's all hope Jamie Johnson turns to have the same faith like his cousin did.
I KNOW most of the ways the aristracy protects their wealth by deceiving the rest of us. When I saw this it put a personel face on it, but it made me even more outraged! All I can tell you People is that it is almost time to storm the Bastille!!!
Libertarianism is the solution for the American republic. No social group receive more welfare than the 1% of the RICH! Tax incentive, special privilege, and other advantages that have nothing to do with entrepreneurship! Establishing a system of law that repeal all these crookedness will only be benefit to the whole society and reduce the wealth gap. Also, getting rid of the inflationary, wars financing and over-taxing federal reserve will do a tremendous good to the overall society!
is gods plan =) lol who are we to question gods plan. a rixch guy said it was gods plan and god made rich people better than us, so he would know. what more proof do you need?
Milton Friedman's ego is really over inflated ...what an old fart he hates being challenged, he sits behind his wooden desk with stacks of paper and draw his theories ... scary
If some of these wealthy(commenters about this film)people dont change their way of thinking, their and or your children and grandchildren will suffer because of you. Wealth and power can also destroy the one who possesses it if not gained and maintained in a fair and ethical way. If more people in positions of power and wealth become fair minded and ethical,(like Jamie Johnson) the world as a whole would operate in a more fair minded and ethical way.
well take all the money from this stupid bitch and that solves the bloody hell

I have to say that you are courageous and compassionate. It is true that it is more difficult for the rich man to get to heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Something tells me you will be one of the few there. Best of luck to you Jamie.
1) You're a right winger, you would know this if you knew anything. You also don't know the difference between what's being proposed (social democratic reforms) and what socialism is.
2) Libertarianism isn't new, or interesting, or defensible, the Austrian school of economics is scientology or alchemy for rich people.
1) I can define my own political beliefs, asshole, and no, I am not a right-winger. You however, ARE a socialist, you're just too dumb to know it.
2)Libertarianism isn't new or interesting? What kind of point is that? You're not arguing against any Libertarian beliefs, you're just a reactionary leftist moron.
3) The austrian school of economics predicted the 2008 collapse of the housing bubble along with the tech bubble of the 90's
1) No you don't get to define your own political beliefs. Free-marketeers are right-wingers and are an incredibly integral component to the right wing as a whole, working along with the evangelicals you distance yourself from
2)Saying something is old and boring is the opposite of reactionary
3)Hahaha no they didn't, forming an ad-hoc "too much regulation" isn't prediction
4)If you were one of the oppressed races congrats, you're the exception that proves the rule
"the Austrian school of economics is scientology or alchemy for rich people"
Very well said, this is something that really needs to be spread around and yelled from all available rooftops and printed on a large number of T-shirts.
Peter Schiff is always quoted as some kind of answer to the current economic problems but he's the answer from hell. More people need to be made aware of the meanness at the core of Friedmans ideas.
@cheekieweekie He hates Pinochet and spoke out against him many times. Do some reading before you post ignorance. He was by no means "complicit" with any such war crimes for any of his economic "ambitions" of freedom, prosperity, and liberty.
This Film is fucking amazing, please forward this movie. Dear God, please forward this, I beg of you.

I KNOW most of the ways the aristracy protects their wealth by deceiving the rest of us. When I saw this it put a personel face on it, but it made me even more outraged! All I can tell you People is that it is almost time to storm the Bastille!!!

Libertarianism is the solution for the American republic. No social group receive more welfare than the 1% of the RICH! Tax incentive, special privilege, and other advantages that have nothing to do with entrepreneurship! Establishing a system of law that repeal all these crookedness will only be benefit to the whole society and reduce the wealth gap. Also, getting rid of the inflationary, wars financing and over-taxing federal reserve will do a tremendous good to the overall society!

If some of these wealthy(commenters about this film)people dont change their way of thinking, their and or your children and grandchildren will suffer because of you. Wealth and power can also destroy the one who possesses it if not gained and maintained in a fair and ethical way. If more people in positions of power and wealth become fair minded and ethical,(like Jamie Johnson) the world as a whole would operate in a more fair minded and ethical way.

Condaleeza Rice doesn't give a shit. She doesn't even care if you get tortured. Her family never helped in the civil rights movement, what the hell does she care if she's of help to you.

I have to say that you are courageous and compassionate. It is true that it is more difficult for the rich man to get to heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Something tells me you will be one of the few there. Best of luck to you Jamie.

1) I'm a Libertarian, not a "right-winger"
2)Don't you lefties pride yourselves on being open to new ideas and being non violent? Guess not. Because you're just a closed minded bigot.
3) You're an asshole. Go fuck yourself.

1) You're a right winger, you would know this if you knew anything. You also don't know the difference between what's being proposed (social democratic reforms) and what socialism is.
2) Libertarianism isn't new, or interesting, or defensible, the Austrian school of economics is scientology or alchemy for rich people.
3) Cry more selfish white boi

1) I can define my own political beliefs, asshole, and no, I am not a right-winger. You however, ARE a socialist, you're just too dumb to know it.
2)Libertarianism isn't new or interesting? What kind of point is that? You're not arguing against any Libertarian beliefs, you're just a reactionary leftist moron.
3) The austrian school of economics predicted the 2008 collapse of the housing bubble along with the tech bubble of the 90's
4) I am not caucasion, you racist bigot. Fail.

1) No you don't get to define your own political beliefs. Free-marketeers are right-wingers and are an incredibly integral component to the right wing as a whole, working along with the evangelicals you distance yourself from
2)Saying something is old and boring is the opposite of reactionary
3)Hahaha no they didn't, forming an ad-hoc "too much regulation" isn't prediction
4)If you were one of the oppressed races congrats, you're the exception that proves the rule

"the Austrian school of economics is scientology or alchemy for rich people"
Very well said, this is something that really needs to be spread around and yelled from all available rooftops and printed on a large number of T-shirts.
Peter Schiff is always quoted as some kind of answer to the current economic problems but he's the answer from hell. More people need to be made aware of the meanness at the core of Friedmans ideas.

Milton Friedman was an asshole pinochet apologist complicit in war crimes and mass murder for his economic ambitions.
cheekieweekie 2 years ago 37
@cheekieweekie He hates Pinochet and spoke out against him many times. Do some reading before you post ignorance. He was by no means "complicit" with any such war crimes for any of his economic "ambitions" of freedom, prosperity, and liberty.
He always preached non violence.
