Book Reviews of Capitalism and Freedom: Fortieth Anniversary Edition

Book Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars

Milton Friedman is a great economist and a good man. His books, especially his Monetary History, have been a great contribution to 20th century thought. In this book he presents a strong case for liberty. For the most part, he is very consistent. However, his stance on education is a bit weak. He seems to miss that public education is a horrible and ultimately destructive institution. Despite this, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in capitalism. But, I would also have to recommend Sheldon Richman's "Separating School and State" as a supplement.
