FRIEDMAN (Milton and Rose).
Free to Choose.
Free to Choose is the companion book to Friedman’s ten-part PBS series of the same title, which investigated various regions, historical events, and social issues from the perspective that laissez faire economics is the most effective and fair way to manage societies.
The series and book were a response to John Kenneth Galbraith’s earlier documentary The Age of Uncertainty, and both proved extremely popular, with the book remaining on the best-seller list for five weeks. It did much to help popularise neoliberal economics, a valuable impetus in Reagan’s successful election bid several months after publication. The present UK edition was published in the same year as the US original.
