The relation between economic freedom and political freedom -- The role of government in a free society -- The control of money -- International financial and trade arrangements -- Fiscal policy -- The role of government in education -- Capitalism and discrimination -- Monopoly and the social responsibility of business and labor -- Occupational licensure -- The distribution of income -- Social welfare measures -- Alleviation of poverty.
How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, the author provides the definitive statement of his economic philosophy--one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom.
