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.

The last time i checked, south american countries, in a relative sense, are doing much better than they were while under Friedman's reforms.

Yep greed is bad, so you should get rid of all your belongings starting with your computer and never look for a job or charity. While we at it let's ask all politicians to get of rid all the money they control in the government. Last time I checked most of South America is ruled by socialists or communists.

Perhaps you didn't understand the sarcasm in my comment or perhaps you are being sarcastic? I understand that the USA has an inherent interest in retaining the status quo thanks to fractional reserve banking and the use of the IMF. Check out the water wars in Guatemala.

Why do so many people so readily use the word "GREED"? Maybe they just can't spell the more appropriate word......"AMBITION"! Remember, politicians are parasites, not American workers. So don't include them.

Greed = Good ........ya Friedman is sure right about this one...just like his economic policies which put South America in a hell hole...take a look at his policies of "shock therapy"...this guy is a joke.
