How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of a highly influential economic philosophy—where competitive capitalism serves as a mechanism for achieving economic freedom and as a necessary condition for political freedom.
First published in 1962, Friedman's "Capitalism and Freedom" is one of the most important works of economic theory ever written. It retains its significance and acclaim, having sold nearly a million copies in English, been translated into eighteen languages, and continues to inform economic thought and policy worldwide. This new edition includes prefaces written by Friedman for the 1982 and 2002 reissues, as well as a new foreword by Binyamin Appelbaum, lead writer on economics for the New York Times editorial board.
