Free markets and freedom

Next time someone complains about the evils of a free economy and justifies the need for the state to interfere, ask them to see this interview first. Milton does a brilliant job of linking free markets with the individual freedom.

Selfishness after all is a basic human trait and we’ll never live a perfectly egalitarian society. So why not give everyone, instead of a few in the government, the power to make decisions that impact the whole society. This is the essence of Milton’s argument.
