Milton Friedman – Greed
In his book “Capitalism and Freedom” (1962) Milton Friedman (1912-2006) advocated minimizing the role of government in a free market as a means of creating political and social freedom.
An excerpt from an interview with Phil Donahue in 1979.

He compares two …
He compares two extremes & says surely this one is as good as, or better than the other.
The truth of course is that other types of communities & governments have existed that have been fairer – a mix of the two extremes – but he & his powerful business cronies have made sure that they have always been overthrown.
Notice how he smiles whilst saying all of this. Such people get extreme pleasure from the slavery & demise of whole populations. He was a very clever con man.
This man was truly …
This man was truly evil. I hope he rots in hell.
This man lies …
This man lies through his teeth. I don’t doubt for a moment that he doesn’t know what he was up to. He was a clever debater but evil to the core.
The world has indeed seen better social structures that promoted successful economies & a better standard of living for the majority of people but he, together with the likes of ITT, the Ford Foundation & the CIA had them overthrown.
So no, there are no better examples because the worlds big bullyboys have systematically wiped them out

Common interests to be voted?
You think your vote counts more than an approval by the multi-billion lobbying industry in Washington?
@lacan75 I was not …
@lacan75 I was not defending Freidman…..but commeting on the Austian Economics concept that theat top 20%… who own 93% of America should be left unchecked with all the moeny…. and given no rules and no supervision.
The attention to common interests is a most excellent aspect of a Democratic Republic… which I think America hopes to be someday.

Milton Friedman was s ick individual who would argue that Work Makes You Free!
Even as he equates capitalism with freedom, which is a fundamental falsehood, you see that he is promoting a sentiment that the Nazis would be proud of. A Slogan Right at the Entrance of one History’s most famous concentration camps reads “ARBEIT MACHT FREI,” or “work makes you free.”
Milton Friedman had a very WARPED sense of freedom to say the least. The man must have mentally ill.

@lacan75 among tzotziles and tzeltales the way in wich things are organized are thinking on the common interest (only one example)..many of the knoledges of this cultures have been stoled by companies that “register” them as private property..thats how capitalism has grown..by stealing and imposin rules to others

@SmapAttack greed is not a the “common” thing among human beings… “profit2 its an invention..humans are tied to a world of significations…and the axis and directions of this cultural invetions can and have changed..capitalism imposes one of many occidental interpretations of the human esence…in mexico capitalism has been imposed by guns
@HopeForPeaceNow …
@HopeForPeaceNow Friedman thinks all cultures work under the same norms as occidental culture..there is not “one” rule to measure “civilization2..cultural blind…thats friedman….we want our common interests to be discussed, and voted…cause there are regional diferences that radical freemarket doesn´t respect…

@DreamstateEmergency Calvinism is the core of Christianity especially conservative right-wing Christianity and I hate Calvinism always have. This Ddvek guy irritates me because he believes he the right to label true Christians or not when people are who are Christians are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan. Iam a Deist so I don’t have a dog in the hunt but that always irritated me.
Horse shit. ” …
Horse shit. “Everyone is greedy, accept greed as a norm”.
Can you answer the $600 Trillion $ question:
Tell us why Austrain Economics is NOT simply opening the door for the Elite, who now own 93% – to own … whatever they want (When your stack of 100 dollar bills is literaly higher than the Empire State Building, the world is your oyster). With this unfettered access to all of our wealth, Hayek, Rand and Co would like to add in no rules and no supervision???!!!!

@SmapAttack
I respect your point of view, but think about this is working 8 hours a day for 7 days a week each month for 45 years really freedom, monetary system is up everyone wich is the prime fuel in capitalism, i dont know societys has been manipulated to believe this is normal and that money have always existed, and that there isnt another system wich doesnt include money that can work. Im out of topic at this point so goodbye.

@SportmanCrew
I hate to break this to you, but there is no way we can ever assure that people will be born equally. It just won’t happen. There will always always always be people born into richer families or poorer families. Governments and corporations will always have greed because we are all human.
I’m not saying that capitalism is perfect, but it is the best self-regulating system currently that allows people the freedom to work up to the social class they want to be in.

@SmapAttack @SmapAttack – Sure. That is if you believe dictatorship is socialism, and Stalinism equals communism. Unfortunately for your argument both are wrong assumptions, however fond US McCarthy-ist Rockefeller Media is of propagating the lies and the Newspeak. Democratic Socialism worked fine in Scandinavia and the Nordic countries, It even enhanced capitalism / free-market economy. To the rest of your statements: you lost me.

@SportmanCrew
So, did you watch this video at all? You don’t think socialism and communism isn’t greedy? Socialist and communist governments take even more from the people and leave them with even less freedom. However, in a free market people are able to vote with their dollar; not to mention the private sector runs better since they are held accountable in contrast with the public sector. By the way, I call bullshit on your “statistics” (aka: random, unbelievable numbers with no source…)
