America's freedom and prosperity derive from the combination of the idea of human liberty in America's Declaration of Independence with the idea of economic freedom in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. Friedman explains how markets and voluntary exchange organize activity and enable people to improve their lives. He also explains the price system. Friedman visits Hong Kong, U.S. and Scotland.

  • I've loved this man before I knew of him.

  • Friedman's the man, this is a very insightful video about the power of the market, how we need it and how cooperation works.

    I wish he was still around today, to give his advice on the sovereign debt crisis, on Italy, Greece and Ireland, the bailouts etc.

  • @TheWiindigo When Indians first colonized to North America they brought with them animals. These animals had desease. Those deseases caused the great North American animal extinctions 13,000 years ago. How is your colonization of North America any different than when whites settled north America? Well other than the date? You are not "native" you just got here from asia sooner.

  • @TheWiindigo Can you name a single racist thing Pinker ever said, ever implied, or ever wrote? can you point out a specific area where he is wrong? if not, what does that say about how easy you call people 'racists'. Only a pure idiot and scumbag does that. A scumbag who doesnt care about the truth. The 'noble savage' myth, one of your many ignorant brainwashed delusions, is not based on any particular race, and was applicable to all people of all races, but thats not important to you, is it.

  • @TheWiindigo Obviously you havent watched the video; otherwise you wouldnt express such stupid and ignorant views. Pinker happens to be the most respected evolutionary psychologist and harvard professor in the world today. His youtube video is based on 'facts', and global historical data, not 'eurocentric' data. Of course you cant factually disagree with him, so you call him racist. Thats the level of your intellectual ability. Its not impressive. I guess you're happy with your delusions.

  • @spader49 I speak of no "popular fallacy". I speak of my own culture. I am Anishinaabe. You are expressing a popular fallacy, it is called "white supremacy". I know of pinker already, he is racist, he twists things like a used car sales man/liar. He is eurocentric and ego centric. You echo his words and ideas often.

  • @dbohnenkamper What "movie" are you referring to and what difference does it even make? I am an Indigenous american person telling you how I feel about the disease of colonization. I know my own culture, I don't need some white movie to tell me anything one way or another. Stop referring to us in past tense, we are people not a time period. If you actually KNEW some of us and about our cultures you would not be spewing out these regurgitated misconceptions about Native People.

  • @TheWiindigo Did you watch that Pinker video I recommended?

  • @spader49 "It is truly remarkable how delusional and ignorant some people are in the west, despite having enormous standards of living, comfortable lives, good education, legal and political rights." I totally agree. Ignorant and delusional. People can be educated if they are willing to expand their minds and get their ego in check but most are afraid to even entertain the thought that their heroes might have been wrong or that other people may have had a different experience/reality.

  • @spader49 Good job you prove my point! "without slavery there would have been no civil war" AND WITHOUT EUROPE BRINGING OVER 16,500,000 AFRICANS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO SLAVERY in the New World. The US Constitution led to the abolishment of the african Slave Trade in England in 1807. New York because of the US Constitution abolished slavery in 1780's. New jersey in 1804. AFRICAN SLAVERY and was totally EUROPE'S FAULT. The USA ENDED SLAVERY. Libs teach that it was US's fault. EUROPE'S FAULT!
