  • When did Milton Friedman make this speech? This is good information.

  • 1978 at the University of Chicago. As Milton so often illustrates, wisdom is timeless.

  • thanks for the great uploads. i subed

  • @mba2ceo Your punctuation is off. It should read:

    "NOT TRUE: GOVT funded UNIVERSITIES!!!"

    The notion that government and universities are the primary drivers of technological research and advancement is a long discredited myth. In OECD countries as a group, 2/3 of R&D is privately funded. In the US, the figure is closer to 80% and its even higher in non-defense industries.

  • @cesar333 NOT TRUE ... GOVT funded UNIVERSITIES !!!

  • @mba2ceo Well, it was technology from mostly private businesses that helped farms become more efficient.

  • idiot ... it was technology. This cretin is a moron.

  • @ferrozm First off, who did the president assassinate lately? Second, without due process? Can you assassinate someone WITH due process?

    You're right about them stealing money with threat of force, but every government does that so it's a given.

  • @ferrozm

    Go live in china. Then tell me America is oppressive. You fucking twit.

  • @girzwald3 The president of the US can assassinate american citizens without due process, The president can launch wars unilaterally, the president can destroy habeaus corpus, the govt can steal your money with threat of force. and you say the US is not tyrannical and oppressive?!

  • @ferrozm

    America is exceptional because its the "exception" to the rule. Tyranny and oppression.

    You need to learn the definition of the word "exceptional"
