Milton Friedman's brilliant PBS series, "Free To Choose" is back online - for free.
If you have not seen it and are even remotely interested in economics, this is a MUST SEE series.
Much more so in light of our nation's current backslide into the cesspool of Socialism and Statist thought, 'neo'keynsian economics and police state regulation.
TOPICS: Chit/Chat; Education; Miscellaneous; Reference
KEYWORDS: economics; freetochoose; friedman; liberty; miltonfriedman

Required watching for any liberty loving intellectual. Milton Friedman at his very best. Awesome series.

I believe it’s been online free for quite some time! By all means check a young Thomas Sowell in some of the discussion session following the documentary part; his first appearance is in episode 4 or 5.

The video series I saw had Arnold Schwarzenegger introduce one of them. The video did not disappoint unlike Arnold.

Must be pledge drive time. Yeah, I hate PBS too, but this is one series that is seriously worth watching. Timeless and relevant especially during these trying neo-Keynsian times...

I believe it’s been online free for quite some time! Yes, it was... then the videos stopped working, now it seems that they have updated it with a "captcha" to stop folks from 'hot-linking' or otherwise embedding the videos into blogs.
I just rediscovered that the videos work again - after downloading the entire collection for my video library. :)

Everyone should see this series. It should be required viewing for all voters before they are allowed to vote.
Share the link with family and friends...

Milton Friedman was not a "Radical Libertarian".
