About this listen

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 18 languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on.

This updated edition includes a new preface by the author.

Book explains why everybody thought free markets will best take care of the world if left to own devices and offers clear insight into premises used by the today's elites to lead us. And, may I add, when one takes into account the environmental damage this thinking is doing, books helps one understand why it is so wrong and dangerous.

Neoliberalism explained. Get to know your enemy!

I love Milton Friedman, as much as I adore this book. Classy and insightful, in every length and breadth.

Thomas Sowell exercises your brain, and do your own research. But Milton, engages you to improve and nurture your intellect.

Heaven is the free market, and on the ground, how do we become intelligent, in everything we do and serve, while attempting to understand the significance of freedom.

Classy and Insightful

The book is deffinitely a good read, but I don't recommend listening to this audiobook. It's very poor quality, almost like a voice synthesizer. The voice makes the book really boring to listen.

Brilliant book, very poor audio

Amazing book, only three chapters in, I wanted to hear is because I heard it from a YouTuber I watch. Shows the issues linked to socialism and the how capitalism gives freedom and how socialism and democracy are oxymorons is a baser term. Only issue comes in the fact of at times the audio on this is not perfect but it is bearable.

Great book, a real eye opener to the issues of modern day society

One of the worst performances I've ever encountered, I debated turning it off on multiple occasions purely based on the reader.
The content was of far higher quality, and credit must be given to Friedman for everything he has contributed throughout his remarkable career. The book highlighted two pernicious changes for me: the significant change in the definition of liberalism in modern times to generally be one who favours increased state intervention, and the ever-growing and ineffective state provisions across the western world.

Nearly Unlistenable

The main narrator is not the same as the intro on the sample. It sounds AI generated and poor quality AI at that.

Different narrator

the reading was a disaster for this piece of arts. parts missing. I would not recommend this book to anyone. it is incomplete and the reader is the worst I have come to in my whole life.

Total disrespect to Milton Friedman.
