Economic freedom is ... an indispensable means toward the achievement of political freedom.
Milton FriedmanThe free man will ask neither what his country can do for him nor what he can do for his country. He will ask rather 'What can I and my compatriots do through government' to help us discharge our individual responsibilities, to achieve our several goals and purposes, and above all, to protect our freedom?
Milton FriedmanI do not believe there is a natural resource economics. I believe there is good economics and bad economics.
Milton FriedmanSpeeches by businessmen on social responsibility...may gain them kudos in the short run. But it helps to strengthen the already too prevalent view that the pursuit of profits is wicked.... There is one and only one social responsibility of business-to...engage in open and free competition without deception or fraud.
