What is the money the state takes to construct itself and defend itself from other states? How would a state exist if it wasn't spending other people's money? If you have a state is it not inherent that people's money is going to be be spent some way or another by other people, as in the people who are running the state (supposedly in the US with permission)? Then shouldn't we decide what to spend it on? And if we are going to decide what to spend it on do we spend it on the people or the state?
"They were given freest and fullest range" at the expense of the people already living here. The Athenians were bullying their neighbor states. There have been no golden ages unless you read the victor's account alone.
The reason Friedman focuses in spending (the finality of money) instead of gain (the source of money) is to keep the principle of "individual spent" intact: Money is produced in social grounds, it is not produced out of thin air by wise individuals. If you don't analyze how money is produced, why wasting time saying social goods and welfare comes from another person's money? By the way, "natural state of man" is a blatant philosophical and biological fallacy.
Instead of the poisonous, utopian Marxist propaganda promulgated across every college university through professors and textbooks, this video should be shown just to at least give kids a single, alternative view to the prevailing notions of the time
5:22 set a limit to gov't spending...ok - are we clear - dems/liberals - the road to hell is paved with good intentions - misery and tyranny for everyone, thanks libs
agriculture, antibiotics, materials science and so on lift the tyranny imposed by the natural state of man; the suffering we inherit by inhabiting a planet cruelly indifferent to starvation, disease and disaster. The free market provides the means of FAIR distribution of goods and services but the sciences advance such goods and services available.
Firstly, the reason gov't spending is so high is that 95% of the money in the US is borrowed at interest. The most influential reason the US sought independence was because they wanted to control the supply of their money.
Secondly, what he says is true, flawed ideas of good people destroy the ability of actual good to be done - unfortunately, his ideas are the epitome of this.
Freedom has come to mean profiteering at the expense of, and on the backs of others. Exactly what he sought to avoid.
I enjoy watching Dr. Friedman speak every time I watch him. What a wonderful intellect. His advocacy for both economic and political freedom is sorely missed.
I'm curious about the date of this video. I'd sooner think it was from 1967 rather than 1977. By 1977 there were very few B&W broadcast still being made. Are we looking at some sort of B&W backup or was the broadcast really done in B&W at this late date?
We will not find justice at the hands of corrupt judges. (See YouTube videos) Judicial Benefits & Court Corruption Update / Evil Triangle of Court Corruption / Richard fine / Dr Shirley Moore slush funds /SBX 211. To end this title wave of corruption in our country must start with the corrupt judges. We can not bring evidence of corruption to corrupt judges. Los Angeles Superior Court judges are illegally and unconstitutionally taking 50,000.00 each for a total of 23 million per year.
Amazing! This was one of the most moving and powerful videos I have ever seen. I have to do my research on Mr. Friedman, he is one of a kind in only the best of ways.
milton friedman can go fuck himself. the more i hear him, the more i think he's never lived in a human society. in this interview, he literally justified the genocide of the native americans in order to establish systems that supposedly released the "natural instincts of man." what man is he talking about? the noble mass murderers of europe? if that's the natural instinct of man, then we may as well all simultaneously commit suicide, because we cannot escape it anyways.
What bizarre interview did you watch as it bears no resemblance whatsoever to ANYTHING that Dr. Friedman ever said in his life. He didn't "justify" anything; he simply pointed out that the historical norm has been tyranny and misery and, further, that the exceptions to that rule wherein the lives of the common people have been improved have been those where liberty (including economic liberty) have been most prized.
The welfare state is also simply a means to an end, simply a rather static means asking for more and more cash when it fails. The end is the alleviation of poverty which admittedly existed and admittedly was terrible in many cases before the welfare state. Although this is even worse now, since the end was "equality" and fundamentally as long as people are willing to steal from some to give to others it will contintue being noble.
