"First published in 1962 and based on a series of lectures from 1956, Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom provides the definitive statement of an immensely influential economic philosophy-one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. In short, the book asks: how can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? The result is an accessible text that was selected by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war." Enduring in its impact and esteem, the book has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and continues to profoundly inform economic thinking and policymaking. This edition includes prefaces written by Friedman for both the 1982 and 2002 reissues of the book, as well as a new foreword by Binyamin Appelbaum, economics editor for the New York Times and author of The Economists' Hour: False Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society (Little, Brown, 2019)"--

Seller's Description:
Very good. In the classic bestseller, Capitalism and Freedom, Milton Friedman presents his view of the proper role of competitive capitalism--the organization of economic activity through private enterprise operating in a free market--as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. Beginning with a discussion of principles of a liberal society, Friedman applies them to such constantly pressing problems as monetary policy, discrimination, education, income distribution, welfare, and poverty. "Milton Friedman is one of the nation's outstanding economists, distinguished for remarkable analytical powers and technical virtuosity. He is unfailingly enlightening, independent, courageous, penetrating, and above all, stimulating."-Henry Hazlitt, Newsweek "It is a rare professor who greatly alters the thinking of his professional colleagues. It's an even rarer one who helps transform the world. Friedman has done both."-Stephen Chapman, Chicago Tribune Mitte der 50er Jahre betrat ein Mann die ökonomische Arena, der schon zu Lebzeiten zur Legende werden sollte Milton Friedman. Seine genial einfache Geldmengentheorie brachte Friedman nicht nur den Nobelpreis ein, sondern machte ihn auch zum einflußreichsten Ökonomen der 80er und 90er Jahre. Seine Theorie wurde weltweit begeistert in Wirtschaftspolitik umgesetzt--von Maggie Thatcher, Ronald Reagan oder Augusto Pinochet. Dies stärkte Friedmans Ruf als großer Wissenschaftler, zugleich aber auch als politischer Rechtsaußen, als "Prediger des schrankenlosen Egoismus". Noch immer ist Friedman ebenso einflußreich wie umstritten. Ein begnadeter Redner, der seine Theorien perfekt zu vermarkten weiß, aber vor allem ist er ein leidenschaftlicher Ideologe. Ein "liberaler Anarchist", wie ihn sein Sohn einmal charakterisierte. "Ist es ein Zufall, daß so viele Reformen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte nutzlos waren und daß sie Hoffnungen zu Asche wurden? Ist der Grund in der Tatsache zu suchen, daß die Programme im Detail unvollkommen waren? ", frägt Friedman in seinem ideologischen Hauptwerk Capitalism and Freedom, "Ich meine, die Antwort auf diese Frage ist ein klares Nein. Der Hauptfehler dieser Maßnahmen liegt darin, daß seitens der Regierung versucht wird, die Menschen dazu zu zwingen, gegen ihre eigenen unmittelbaren Interessen zu handeln, um einem angenommenen Gemeininteresse zu dienen." Friedman schlußfolgert, daß eine freie Gesellschaft nur unter den Bedingungen eines freien Marktes entstehen kann, frei von jeder staatlichen Einflußnahme und Machtkonzentration. Diesen radikalen Gedanken hat Friedman 1962 erstmals publiziert. Im Zeitalter der Globalisierung und des weltweiten Zerfalls überkommener sozialer Strukturen, erscheint sein Ansatz jedoch so aktuell wie niemals zuvor.
