Have you noticed something. When he's talking, the audience, by and large, allow him to speak and make his point. More importantly so do the interviewers. Nobody is shouting and screaming, calling him a racist, white supremacist or race traitor.
Exactly. These conversations no longer happen, but not because there is a lack of Milton Friedmans (Shapiro, Crowder, Whittle, etc.), but because of the other side. Very few are willing to listen and have a rational discussion, they'd rather riot and do all they can to prevent someone they disagree with from setting foot on their campus. It is much easier to chant and name-call than it is to logically defend one's beliefs.
@@jordanribbink1991, you're correct. No one is quite like Friedman and his gentle and rational nature. Today, even a 5' guy in a yamaka is considered threatening, that said, he does put on hardened demeanor.

You can be altruistic with no money and look for that good feeling that you get after giving or for the sake to keep your place in heaven and follow your religious beliefs.

A lot of people don't get ot because they stupid, others are intentionally ignorant. And the reason why they choose to ignore it, is because it contradicts their Statist Collectivist pipe dreams.
I wish Milton Friedman had been around for the current internet age. I think his message would have reached many more than it has, in people my age. Our generation needs it bad.
Why do you suppose that Americans don't know any of these basic economics principles, that Friedman talks about? A: Because Liberals systematically removed it from government-funded public education curriculae. Liberals want you to be ignorant. You are a much more compliant electorate when you are an ignorant voting electorate.
Listening to this in late 2021. He’s making even more sense now than back then. Government has gotten to big. We the people need to take out country back.
@@danielneumann984 Would you rather government help others because you, Daniel Neumann, want them to? Great job gratifying your self-interest, you greedy bastard.
looks across the globe (which is a sphere), sees China ... "Where there is communism, there capitalism, there is no freedom" ... how in the world is China doing this !?!?
Like me, you probably went to a "government school," as Milton calls American "public schools." Milton advocated school vouchers, which the teacher unions were/are militantly opposed to.
I knew the name, but I'm pretty ignorant on economics. I think the algorithm put it in my recommendeds because of Dave Smith or kmele foster searches in my history.
This is the greatest president America never had, he believes in what made America great, sadly its now a rapidly declining nation. Even if you disagree with his views you can't deny how articulate and bright this man was.
He literally helped topple the government of Chile by helping to train the "Chicago Boys" in a government program meant to send Laissez Faire economist to Chile
I just found this guy last night 🤦♀️ 🤷🏼♂️ Everything I’ve heard so far seem to be the genuine answer to fixing so many of our human condition flaws!!! Looking forward to hearing more. Thank you for the great video!! ✊🏻
I’ve always instinctively thought about human relations in the way Friedman expresses with such clarity. A clarity I really admire and would like to posess. What a brain and what a gentle, strong personality!❤️
“A person to be persuaded, not coerced” If the people in this country and around the world could only get this one precept drilled another head, we would be so far ahead of the game
Conservatives are fiscally conservative and socially progressive. Can't wait till both these parties tank. They are ruining the country. Just need to ban parties outright.
Clash Of The Horns you’d have to educate them first. Which means that our entire educational system needs to be trashed and completely overhauled. This would include getting rid of all these worthless books full of revisionist Un factual information on everything from literature to genetics.
Jared Langley banning the parties won’t fix the problems we have here. One of The problems is that neither of them have core values, or an understanding of our constitution or Republic government. We are not a Democracy! The other is that our politicians are elected out of our population. Our population is misinformed, and ignorant of the basic principles of what constitute a free people, and the limits of the 3 branches that make up our government. Prime examples are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Omar and Sen Tlaib. They are completely ignorant of what our country is. Many of these politicians also ultimately don’t respect the people that voted them in.
Same. There is an attitude of jealousy, covetness, entitlement of what we have vs what they have. Being stuck in that mindset can make you a very miserable human being.

I voted for Stein and knew I was out of my mind, but Trump was better than another criminal Clinton. Anyway... I shouldn't be forced to pay for that wall, drugs to be illegal, or the the government to mark territories on my behalf around the globe for everyone to pay for forever. Buy now, pay later, remember? The AMA is a monopoly and medical licensure should be abolished, along with the Federal Reserve, imo, because we shouldn't be forced to pay for more incompetence. In my opinion, the argument against implementing Friedman's Negative Income Tax are weak, at best, and the baby boomers are trying to save our broken sick care system by talking about nothing but more healthcare reform. Just say no to Pay To Play corruption and demand your right to be Free To Choose. Nobody can spend somebody else's money more carefully than you can yourself. It's time to stop working for the US Mob because all our policies and jobs are wrong. Carpe diem.
Some people think so clearly that pleasure can be obtained by following their thought processes. It's how we know we are on the right track. Thanks M.F.
Reagan made this country what it is today screwed up That why people voted for trump thinking they were getting something different. But got the same thing again.
David Velevski wend Clinton was president it was the best of times for everyone. Everyone was doing good I had more at that time in my life. And am in my 50s But we lost millions and millions of jobs to China. And Bush pretty much wrecked everything. So what your talking was just a small part of it The company sold us out. And so did both parties the republicans party sold there soles to big business and still are. The republicans destroyed the union in this country. Reagan killed the middle class in this country. This all started under Reagan. Me and my wife made more money under Clinton than any time in Are life
Iron_Slash your being to nice. He a clown just like are president is. Both of there heads are to big to fit into any door. They both think there the smartest people in the world. But not even close. You have all these so call guys that think they know everything. But are the same people screwing everything up.
I only discovered Milton Friedman today ... what I can tell by watching this ..... he was a brilliant man ! He had great courage to talk the truth about Goverment and society.
Milton Friedman was the cat's whiskers. What a man. Just BTW, he misquotes Lord Acton's aphorism (around 5:15). Lord Acton wrote, "Power TENDS to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The word "tends" should not be skipped because there is only a tendency to corrupt.
When people came before 1914 and they were industrious and hard-working America worked for them and they prospered. What people don't realize is a lot of those people found America too difficult and went back.
Even back in Milton Freedman's day, he recognized that gov. had ..."become our master instead of our servant". We need to become a bottom up society again - not a top down one. It's supposed to be a gov. of the people, by the people and for the people. Those who work in gov. are "public servants".
Society subsidizing employees is the governmental failure he's talking about. You want to delete the option to get rich this way, remove the government mandates to tax and redistribute money for these employees. You could just as easily make the argument for some other aspect of his company that takes advantage of the government. What you should ask yourself though is how fair it is that such advantages exist and does their existence benefit society? Is there an honest process by which you can only pay to that which you agree? Is the representative system of voting leaders the best way? I'd argue that with technology, we may come to a point of advanced government that gives us increasing detail in how we pay taxes and how we vote. At that point, it may be impossible to feel taken advantage of as nearly every detail is chosen ourselves. And if the technology is right, it will surely be done in the private sector and with no need from the government. Currently, the government acts almost as a bulletin board for the country.
Having heard that Javier Milei (Argentinian Presidential Candidate) was Friedman enthusiast, I took great pleasure in revisiting this economical wizard's ideas! Rest in Peace, Friedman.
We no longer have questioners like this today. Very few are willing to listen and have a rational discussion, they'd rather riot and do all they can to prevent someone like Ben Shapiro from setting foot on their campus. It is much easier to chant and name-call than it is to logically defend one's beliefs. People now take it as hate speech if it is something that they disagree with.
I have heard his name but never listened to a lecture of his until recently. Noting that his speeches have been shared with many for several decades tells me two things: 1) Those who will listen to reasoned, logical arguments are sure to be swayed by Milton Friedman, and 2) those who will not, are determined to place ideology above all else.
Man, you remember when you could have a civil debate? Those were the days - not like today where a NPC chants a statement over and over again and knows nothing more.
I still get a kick out of a 20 year old kid thinking he is smart enough to challenge Milton Friedman. If we let that idiot design the Pinto it would have been priced as a Lincoln.
I give respect to those people that questioned Friedman. In every case, this questioning made Friedman consider their attempt to persuade him to their cause. This adversity honed Friedman's theories into the solid principles that we still admire.
The age of someone is irrelevant. Arguments stand and fall on there own. Einstein was 26 when he came out with his theory of special relativity. Newton invented calculus at 24.
Prof. Friedman was not a strict Constitutionalist. He believed that the "most efficient" way to help the poor was with a negative income tax. That is, give poor people a stipend based on their income. This contradicts many of his other basic lessons of economics (not to mention the clear intent of the Constitution). So I would say, he would have made a terrible President overall. We need a Constitutionalist. We do not want anyone setting up MORE incentives for people to a) remain poor and perpetuate generational poverty and government dependency.

I love listening to this guy talk. A firm voice of concise wisdom that is badly missing from our society today.
Why do you suppose that Americans don't know any of these basic economics principles, that Friedman talks about? A: Because Liberals systematically removed it from government-funded public education curriculae. Liberals want you to be ignorant. You are a much more compliant electorate when you are an ignorant voting electorate.
Be the new voice
What? I can promise you that just because someone asserts their contentions firmly, it doesn't mean that those contentions are valid.
He's charismatic and interesting to listen to, like Peter Zeihan.
Well, they keep calling the best racist or something.
His eloquence and logic was unbeatable. Pure class.
Listening to this in late 2021. He’s making even more sense now than back then. Government has gotten to big. We the people need to take out country back.
What a brilliant man. I also noticed in every video I've seen of Friedman, he's always smiling. Truly a great man.
It was conscious on his part, in one video, he tells it.
@@sandorudvary294what’s the video?
we need a teacher like him today,
No really we don't, because we have actually too many. His teaching are taught at pretty much any economic academic institution ...
Robert P. Murphy; Milton Friedman was blind to the faults of the Federal Reserve. Mises.org rectifies all of this.
Jordan Peterson is Exactly what You Seek.
we do, his name is Thomas Sowell
Go listen to Dennis Miller
Yo we need this guy back so bad
In spirit
Educate yourself sufficiently and try to follow in his footsteps
And here we are in 2022. Milton was right
_"Heaven preserve us, from the sincere reformer who knows what's good for you and by heaven is gonna make you do it whether you like it or not."_
Your my boy!
Milton Friedman is my spiritual animal.
@Matt Polzkill NPCs hate Friedman. Don't hate them for it, they can't help themselves.
@@danielneumann984
Would you rather government help others because you, Daniel Neumann, want them to? Great job gratifying your self-interest, you greedy bastard.
@@hodgesticj1534 If you feel that strongly then help your fellow man. The government cannot mandate compassion. Stupid bastard.
I love Milton Friedman. I can't watch enough of him.
Milton Friedman was a genius, well ahead of his time.
"Where there is freedom, there is Capitalism" - Milton Friedman
looks across the globe (which is a sphere), sees China ... "Where there is communism, there capitalism, there is no freedom" ... how in the world is China doing this !?!?
@@mane4209 if you watch more of Friedman's videos you'll have that question answered. But that's not a complete quote from him.
@@mane4209 the complete quote is, “Wherever there is capitalism there isn’t always freedom, but wherever there is freedom there is capitalism.”
I have never heard or seen this guy ever.. He's amazing
"It is always so attractive to be able to do good at somebody else's expense."
"Because it is always so attractive to be able to do good at somebody else's expense."
Holy shit
How have I missed the teachings of this man until now?!
Like me, you probably went to a "government school," as Milton calls American "public schools." Milton advocated school vouchers, which the teacher unions were/are militantly opposed to.
It’s too bad UA-cam’s algorithms will show this mostly to people that already agree with him. Unless they did an explicit search.
I watched another video of him and my god everyone in that comment section thought he was for Keynsian economics.
I knew the name, but I'm pretty ignorant on economics. I think the algorithm put it in my recommendeds because of Dave Smith or kmele foster searches in my history.
mind giving me a reference so that i can read upon what you stated
That is not true. The algorithm favors him in economics.
I think AI is making all of us smarter. By indulging us with this.
The man was an intellectual titan. A truth speaker the likes of which we have few of in today's public life.
Milton Friedman was one of the brightest thinkers in economics in our history. The Story of Pencil says it all...so simple and so wise.
This is the greatest president America never had, he believes in what made America great, sadly its now a rapidly declining nation. Even if you disagree with his views you can't deny how articulate and bright this man was.
Big Baz and who would pay for peoples dinners?
He literally helped topple the government of Chile by helping to train the "Chicago Boys" in a government program meant to send Laissez Faire economist to Chile
Emperor Paco missio passed 300 xp + respect +
Kyle Mason Trump really haven’t you seen anought of him already he a clown
Presidents do not always heed the advice of their advisors....in many cases, that is the failure...not the advice given
Thomas Sowell, is the Man now, and he worked with Milton Friedman!
How respectful is he when mentioning POTUS ! what a great mind
I just found this guy last night 🤦♀️ 🤷🏼♂️ Everything I’ve heard so far seem to be the genuine answer to fixing so many of our human condition flaws!!! Looking forward to hearing more. Thank you for the great video!! ✊🏻
This man radiates hope and glee
Long live free markets
I have learned more from this man than from any higher education.
I’ve always instinctively thought about human relations in the way Friedman expresses with such clarity. A clarity I really admire and would like to posess. What a brain and what a gentle, strong personality!❤️
Milton Friedman is to economics what Tom Brady is to football.
Even more true after seeing Brady in the 3 years since you made this comment
“A person to be persuaded, not coerced” If the people in this country and around the world could only get this one precept drilled another head, we would be so far ahead of the game
I don't know if I've ever seen a bigger genius than Milton Friedman
Try Thomas Aquinas. Milton was my previous #1 8-)
Thomas Sowell
Milton where are you, we need you more than ever....
Thanks for posting this video. Wow, what a sharp intellect.
I'll say one thing. He is a very Intelligent man that puts forward very convincing arguments.
KrackowKid but??
That's like saying water is wet, or the sun is hot.
other countries are 30 years behind america , unfortunately for us, 30 years ago we were intellectually ahead of our present time
Milton Friedman is so articulate!! I love his speeches!!
How have I never heard of this man. He should be on one of our currencies
One of my favorite videos of all time. Friedman is not just intelligent but wise, something that is often conflated.
Milton Friedman would be shouted down in a college campus today..
cause its an outdated view
We need to bring back classical liberals and libertarians in GoV.
Conservatives are fiscally conservative and socially progressive. Can't wait till both these parties tank. They are ruining the country. Just need to ban parties outright.
@@jaredlangley6924 Curious why you suspect modern "conservatives" are fiscally conservative?
Clash Of The Horns you’d have to educate them first. Which means that our entire educational system needs to be trashed and completely overhauled.
This would include getting rid of all these worthless books full of revisionist
Un factual information on everything from literature to genetics.
Jared Langley banning the parties won’t fix the problems we have here.
One of The problems is that neither of them have core values, or an understanding of our constitution or Republic government. We are not a Democracy!
The other is that our politicians are elected out of our population.
Our population is misinformed, and ignorant of the basic principles of what constitute a free people, and the limits of the 3 branches that make up our government.
Prime examples are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Sen. Omar and Sen Tlaib.
They are completely ignorant of what our country is.
Many of these politicians also ultimately don’t respect the people that voted them in.
I simply cannot stop admiring the way, Milton Fridman keeps asking: why? and tries to find a coherent answer and persuade, not bulldoze others.
Same.
There is an attitude of jealousy, covetness, entitlement of what we have vs what they have. Being stuck in that mindset can make you a very miserable human being.
This should be watched after the Pledge of Allegiance every day. Thanks for the great video comp..
Hating wealth means a person can never be rich...
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely " .As a Trump supporter i put my trust in him to do the right thing but will be watching.
It's a good thing Presidents don't have absolute power, then. Unfortunately Trump doesn't seem to realize this.
🌎 As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved. We can not separate anything from everything. Success depends on how well we relate to everything around us. Joy comes from that bliss of connectedness. I believe that unarmed truth and love will have the final word in reality. To love; you should have good heart. I am a good person until I see a person better than my standard of goodness. Being good is the progress towards a worthy cause. Love is God. Whoever lives in love, lives forever. How selfish it is to try to keep something forever? Love is all about nourishing, nurturing, sharing and expanding the love within you for all. The principle to which we adhere to is that we have kindness of love at heart for the whole of mankind. As long as there is the unnecessary differences within us; we can not live peacefully so we have to eliminate all the unnecessary differences among us so we can love all. People abilities may vary but not there true love. If we love a person/ God for a reason then we love the reason but not the person. No reason is the reason to love the person because true love never fails. So do not compare or measure the true love as first or the last but love all truly. If you love people truly then you can understand people. If you don't love then you don't understand people at all.
People are controlled by system why?
The Cyclical Consumption is the current economy all over the World. It is making the scarcity problems of the earth finite resources to deteriorate day by day. Current Monetary System is legalised theft. Real money is Gold and Silver. Scarcity gives the money more value. Real money won't lose it's value. When Governments stay away from Gold & Silver then very easy to transfer the wealth / resources to upper class the Rich (Corporatocracy) Elite. When the Governments are printing out more new fiat currency with reserve banks, our old currency is losing its purchasing power everyday. They are printing millions of currency everyday. All governments and laws are existing right now to transfer wealth to upper class the rich elite. The USA Government & other Governments are in many countries, bailed the investment banks & financial institutions in 2008 against the majority of the people. There is no democracy in any countries. Because of the Money System based on profits motive only above all else even humans lives and well-being. So, we do not have freedom to protect our values with the money so on. The violence, bankruptcy & all the negativities are build into the Monetary System of our society. All are owned (including ourselves) by Reserve Bank. Which is private cartel the corporation. So, in legal system, we are legally considered as chattel the properties. They make money in the capital markets with our birth certificates. They do not consider us as Humans. That's the truth. We are in the invisible war with the Elites (Corporatocracies). We have to fight for our Freedom. Resource Based Economy is the Solution. We have to declare the earth resources as the heritage of all the people of this world. So everyone has access to it. Please have your research about zeitgeist movement then you know the truth more.
Truth About Health/Drugs Industry Because Of It Your Life At High Risk. The drug industry is a 1/2 trillion dollars a year worldwide conglomerate. Almost 300 billions dollars just in North America. That is really big business. What would happen if everyone were well? There is no money in health. You see, good health makes a lot of sense but it doesn't make a lot of dollars. Because everything they do is toxic. Every drug they use, prescription drugs, all drugs are liver toxic, bar none. If you've had amalgam fillings put in your mouth by dentists. It is highly toxic. There's cancer because most of the chemos are themselves carcinogens. To view the tumor as the cancer and we know the tumor is not the cancer. The cancer industry is 200 billions dollars a year. The more work they get, the more profit there is. You have to dismantle; If the truth ever came out about what we would need to do. 30% of people of females in America are at risk of getting, will get cancer of the breast. The ones that are already dead have been grossly mistreated by the medical profession and by the government that supposedly is supposed to encourage free research and development of all possibilities. Why would medical doctors who studied medicine and practice medicine and are heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies why would they go and look into vitamins? That they never had the answer orthomolecular. And as more and more of our population start taking their health into their own hands, there's going to be even more and more of changes. It can't go on the way it is. The system is failing apart. We must make nutrition the primary prevention strategy for the population. You are what you eat. You are everything that you have ever done to yourself. The choices you make directly affect the outcome of your life. - (Food Matters Documentary in Netflix)
I voted for Stein and knew I was out of my mind, but Trump was better than another criminal Clinton. Anyway...
I shouldn't be forced to pay for that wall, drugs to be illegal, or the the government to mark territories on my behalf around the globe for everyone to pay for forever. Buy now, pay later, remember?
The AMA is a monopoly and medical licensure should be abolished, along with the Federal Reserve, imo, because we shouldn't be forced to pay for more incompetence.
In my opinion, the argument against implementing Friedman's Negative Income Tax are weak, at best, and the baby boomers are trying to save our broken sick care system by talking about nothing but more healthcare reform.
Just say no to Pay To Play corruption and demand your right to be Free To Choose. Nobody can spend somebody else's money more carefully than you can yourself. It's time to stop working for the US Mob because all our policies and jobs are wrong. Carpe diem.
I think trump has failed us.
He cut taxes but didnt cut any spending. Which means more debt.
Anthony Conte: I never did, nor will I ever trust, Obama!!!
This man is a total genius! Hes like a "words of wisdom", a "mile per second"!
Some people think so clearly that pleasure can be obtained by following their thought processes. It's how we know we are on the right track. Thanks M.F.
rush i like, hannity i admire, Levin's teaching i love, Reagan his picture is on my wall. But Milton friedman is my hero
Friedman has nothing in common with the others.
Reagan made this country what it is today screwed up That why people voted for trump thinking they were getting something different. But got the same thing again.
David Velevski wend Clinton was president it was the best of times for everyone. Everyone was doing good I had more at that time in my life. And am in my 50s But we lost millions and millions of jobs to China. And Bush pretty much wrecked everything. So what your talking was just a small part of it The company sold us out. And so did both parties the republicans party sold there soles to big business and still are. The republicans destroyed the union in this country. Reagan killed the middle class in this country. This all started under Reagan. Me and my wife made more money under Clinton than any time in Are life
Iron_Slash your being to nice. He a clown just like are president is. Both of there heads are to big to fit into any door. They both think there the smartest people in the world. But not even close. You have all these so call guys that think they know everything. But are the same people screwing everything up.
very much offense, you're are the problem, along with fundamentalism
people just can't accept the idea that we can't just make the world a dream land
VR will get us there...in a "not really" kind of way.
It's the universal longing for the Perfect, i.e. God, redirected into an attempt to create heaven on earth.
Thx for posting a collection of speeches of one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
There is nothing to add. So many years passed away and he is still right. :)
This is absolute gold.
" ... Whenever you use Force - the bad moral value of Force triumphs over Good Intentions "
I only discovered Milton Friedman today ... what I can tell by watching this ..... he was a brilliant man ! He had great courage to talk the truth about Goverment and society.
I love the fact he doesn't try to ridicule these young folks with good intentions as many experts would today for buzz. 👍👍👍
Mr Friedman is an island of sanity in a sea of stupidity. It's a pity he is no longer with us.
Brilliant man
Only 2 minutes in and it's really cool to hear an actual conversation. I'm sure we would all gain something if we respected each other's view civilly.
Wonderful to listen to a man with his depth of knowledge.
Milton Friedman was the cat's whiskers. What a man. Just BTW, he misquotes Lord Acton's aphorism (around 5:15). Lord Acton wrote, "Power TENDS to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely." The word "tends" should not be skipped because there is only a tendency to corrupt.
Acton was wrong. Power inevitably corrupts. None of us can resist the siren's call forever.
@@saxonsoldier67 History proves otherwise. It's just that corruptable people tend towards politics, and idiot voters tend to vote for them.
7:00 You can see her world shattering. So wild.
I became a Libertarian because of Milton Friedman and Thomas Sowell.
When people came before 1914 and they were industrious and hard-working America worked for them and they prospered. What people don't realize is a lot of those people found America too difficult and went back.
Omg ... This notion of rdistibution solving problems just wont die
Even back in Milton Freedman's day, he recognized that gov. had ..."become our master instead of our servant". We need to become a bottom up society again - not a top down one. It's supposed to be a gov. of the people, by the people and for the people. Those who work in gov. are "public servants".
A straight talker and a very wise man.
Milton is a God
Alexandra ocasio-cortez should listen to this guy
A true genius.
damn.. this guy is desperately needed in 2019. fortunately for him and unfortunately for the rest of us he is not around.
We have never had a truly free open society his arguments are based all on examples that are just wild ideas of a world tailored to him

@chosenone4447 man, how many times have you written BS around here? are you so dumb or getting paid for that?
Society subsidizing employees is the governmental failure he's talking about. You want to delete the option to get rich this way, remove the government mandates to tax and redistribute money for these employees. You could just as easily make the argument for some other aspect of his company that takes advantage of the government.
What you should ask yourself though is how fair it is that such advantages exist and does their existence benefit society? Is there an honest process by which you can only pay to that which you agree? Is the representative system of voting leaders the best way?
I'd argue that with technology, we may come to a point of advanced government that gives us increasing detail in how we pay taxes and how we vote. At that point, it may be impossible to feel taken advantage of as nearly every detail is chosen ourselves. And if the technology is right, it will surely be done in the private sector and with no need from the government. Currently, the government acts almost as a bulletin board for the country.
My wisdom, intelligence and speech scores went up 12 just listening to him. Also scored a few perks along the way
Having heard that Javier Milei (Argentinian Presidential Candidate) was Friedman enthusiast, I took great pleasure in revisiting this economical wizard's ideas! Rest in Peace, Friedman.
Next to the Hoover reporter, Friedman is tiny. He's like Yoda.
You will shrink as you get older. He’s pretty old at that point. “When 900 years old you reach, we’ll see how big you are”
The most shocking thing is that these questioners, while I disagree with many of them, are a lot smarter than the sort of questioners we get today.
We no longer have questioners like this today. Very few are willing to listen and have a rational discussion, they'd rather riot and do all they can to prevent someone like Ben Shapiro from setting foot on their campus. It is much easier to chant and name-call than it is to logically defend one's beliefs. People now take it as hate speech if it is something that they disagree with.
this man is wise. listen
I have heard his name but never listened to a lecture of his until recently. Noting that his speeches have been shared with many for several decades tells me two things: 1) Those who will listen to reasoned, logical arguments are sure to be swayed by Milton Friedman, and 2) those who will not, are determined to place ideology above all else.
Man, you remember when you could have a civil debate? Those were the days - not like today where a NPC chants a statement over and over again and knows nothing more.
I still get a kick out of a 20 year old kid thinking he is smart enough to challenge Milton Friedman. If we let that idiot design the Pinto it would have been priced as a Lincoln.
Liberty AboveAllElse He certainly has that shit-eating smirk on his face that Moore likes to wear.
I give respect to those people that questioned Friedman. In every case, this questioning made Friedman consider their attempt to persuade him to their cause. This adversity honed Friedman's theories into the solid principles that we still admire.
The age of someone is irrelevant. Arguments stand and fall on there own. Einstein was 26 when he came out with his theory of special relativity. Newton invented calculus at 24.
Gets asked a straight question and gives a corkscrew answer.
Govt..becoming more of our master instead of our servant..... EXACTLY!
I wonder he would've done as a president?
Prof. Friedman was not a strict Constitutionalist. He believed that the "most efficient" way to help the poor was with a negative income tax. That is, give poor people a stipend based on their income. This contradicts many of his other basic lessons of economics (not to mention the clear intent of the Constitution). So I would say, he would have made a terrible President overall. We need a Constitutionalist. We do not want anyone setting up MORE incentives for people to a) remain poor and perpetuate generational poverty and government dependency.
@Liberty AboveAllElse Who are they? People act like a group of people in some secret room control everything. Elected people control everything and unsurprisingly many of them will believe the shitty ideas of the time.
He would fail because he would then be a politician.
17:38 I spy Ron Paul
it does look like Ron Paul but 20 years later than the clip
What a joy!! The perfect antidote for wishful thinking!!!!
From 16.40, epic. So glad I found this again. Thank you.
But, Mr Friedman, I have made my mind up and you are confusing me with the facts
