Today, the Show-Me Institute joined with organizations throughout the nation in celebrating the life and legacy of economist Milton Friedman.

Friedman was both a groundbreaking theoretical economist and a tireless advocate for freedom, and the world is a better place today than it would have been without his influence.

If you’d like to learn more about Milton Friedman, his rigorous scholarship, and his passion for liberty, a good place to start is his classic book Capitalism and Freedom. The Idea Channel is also streaming every episode of his excellent PBS series Free to Choose for free!

Read, watch, and learn.
