Editorial Review:
Selected by the Times Literary Supplement as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war"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 his immensely influential economic philosophy—one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. The result is an accessible text that has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Friedman is best on Economics this is a must read
excellent read and should be a must for all college freshmen also should read "free to choose" by milton and rose friedman
Rating:  - considering current events, he left something out!!!!
the title above says it all.
something missing in his considerations.
perhaps should include a chapter on human character and the greed that appears to run rampant in the higher levels of the economic ladder.
Rating:  - This man is a piece of garbage.
I literally almost vomitted reading this book for class. This father of Neoliberalism, the murderer Pinochet's pal, has caused immense suffering and destruction in the world with his proven-to-fail free market capitalism. Thank goodness he's dead. Lets pray there won't be another one as evil as him around for a while.
Rating: - Great book, life changing reading!
Reading this book gave me a whole new perspective about life, economics and individual responsibility. It's a must for everyone, even if you are not a student of economics.
Rating: - Capitalism and Freedom
A strong case for limited government and for reducing government's place in a free market economy. Even though 50 years old, it remains timely and thought-provoking.
