In his book "Capitalism and Freedom" (1962) Milton Friedman (1912-2006) advocated minimizing the role of government in a free market as a means of creating political and social freedom.

An excerpt from an interview with Phil Donahue in 1979.

    There is no true free market. But as evidenced throughout the world, the closer you are to having a free market, the more prosperous you are. And as evidenced throughout history, the one system that has shown it can greatly improve the general welfare of the people is capitalism. The fact that not everyone can be a multi billionaire and rich people have a lot of capital is inconsequential, as even you under this system is better off than anyone has been throughout history.

    Well if we're going to redefine words then sure. Greed is good and rape is the reason children are born. However the dictionary definition is quite different.

    Greed - excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth or possessions.

    There´s still no "free market", your "explanations" are of no more value than the pope proclaiming "truths".

    Biggest players control about 50% global GDP. There can be no "free market" when that much is controlled by so few persons.

    Banksters Sieg heil, rabulist?

    you honestly think greed is only about money? greed is not a negative, it's about pursuing what you want, and if you're not allowed to do that it means you don't live in a free society

    Greed = Freedom
