Milton Friedman - Free To Choose, all 15 episodes 1980 - 1990

From http://www.freetochoose.com/ Introduction Free To Choose® began as an award winning PBS television series featuring Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist. Free To Choose was also a book written by Milton and Rose Friedman and published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich. It was the best selling non-fiction book of 1980. The book and TV series have been translated into over 2 dozen languages. Free To Choose is about freedom, the interrelationship of personal, political and economic freedom. Free To Choose is about the ideas of Milton and Rose Friedman, ideas that still dominate public policy debates decades after they were first proposed. Free To Choose is about those who refined and continue to extend these ideas. We're pleased to provide you with a sampling of writings and TV and radio commentaries dealing with these concepts. We invite all of you to share your Free To Choose stories and help us keep the principles of liberty alive for decades to come. In Miltons own words: "Why I Did It? I have been asked what induced Rose and me to undertake the project that turned into the Free to Choose television program and book. It is now more than a quarter of a century since Bob Chitester persuaded us to undertake that project, so a detailed answer is not possible. But a few things are clear. (1) Bob hit me at a particularly good time. I had just retired from active teaching at the University of Chicago and was in the process of moving from Chicago to San Francisco to join the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. If I had been committed to my usual teaching schedule, it would have been impossible for me to also meet the shooting schedule for the documentary. But as it was, I had no specific commitments. (2) The basic idea was enormously appealing to us. As Rose wrote in our memoirs (Two Lucky People, U. of Chicago Press, 1998), "Milton and I have spent much of our life trying to persuade our fellow men and women of the dangers of an intrusive government and the key role that a free competitive economy plays in making a free society possible. Bringing these ideas to the large audience that a TV documentary could attract excited us." (3) As it happens, I had appeared on a considerable number of major television programs--such as Meet the Press-- so I had no concerns about the medium and had had direct contact with its effectiveness. As the project proceeded, I found I had much more to learn. (4) One condition I made in advance was that I was not going to read from a script, that I would speak extempore or from notes, in words that were my own, not words written for me. As a result, while there was a shooting script which indicated when and where we were going to film and what point the filming was intended to make, there was no textual script giving the words to be spoken. The book was based on the transcript of the television programs and came after the television program, not, as is usual, the other way around. In the event, the project turned into the most exciting experience of our lives, so it is hard to reconstruct the doubts we had in advance about undertaking it."

You sir... Have made my day!
If governments in the west listened to Mr. Friedman, we would all live in heaps of luxury, and there would be no more starving people on earth!
Skitschysst! Tack så mycket!

Another torrent that I enjoyed very much here on the Pirate Bay is the documentary ?Globalisation is good? by the Swedish liberal and intellectual Johan Norberg. (http://johannorberg.net) It was made for British channel 4. Mr Norberg is a free trade advocate just as Mr Friedman is. The torrent can be found here:

Maybe you should stop reading that marxist bullshit and open your mind to the greatness that is MILTON FRIEDMAN and his ideology of FREEDOM

Oh come on, is that the best you can do? Of all the critics of Milton Friedman and capitalism, you happened to choose one of the most moronic. She took a phrase Friedman used completely out of context and turned it this book right here. You think I'm kidding? Watch some interviews of her on youtube.

Video quality suffers a bit on some of the episodes, but the message comes thru loud and clear - LET FREE MARKETS BE FREE! Thanks for the upload, will seed to 500%.

vidiation (2009-03-18)

As others have noted, the video quality on some eps is shaky at best, but for me does not reduce the powerful impact of the message. Better yet, read the books:
Milton Friedman - Capitalism and Freedom:

Milton Friedman - Free to Choose:

And to preserve and protect the Republic, get your learn on here:

Thank you !

PzGrenLBtl (2010-12-13)

Yes, his books are definitely worth a look.
Friedman was a great in arguing. Only Lenin might have been better.

Thanks a lot.

Top quality. Thank you.

Today, during the second term of the Carter administration, a big dose of 'Uncle Milton' is exactly what we need. He's Ayn Rand, with a little charm added - 'a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.'

diogotome (2011-09-24)

Thank you ever so much for uploading this awesome series, sir. Milton Friedman is pure class.

AlexLibman (2012-07-12)

One of the greatest documentaries ever made!
And please don't ruin the intellectual atmosphere of this page by mentioning a brainless deranged political tool like Naomi Klein.
