It is interesting to read older Economics books like "Free to Choose" to see how accurate they have been in predicting outcomes of policy. It is easy to write a book with hindsight as we often see today by "experts" blaming this or that well after the fact. Milton Freeman had incredible foresight. Not because he could predict the future but because he understood Economics so well that he could simply predict outcomes of policy based on an asymmetry of economic knowledge that very few other Economists, let alone policy-makers, have. I have read this book a couple of times over the years and enjoyed his PBS series by the same name, that first aired in 1980. Also a more up-to-date version by Swedish Historian Johan Norberg's "Free or Equal" - Free to Choose 30 years after. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Milton Friedman *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019* Anyone who thinks they can define economic isms in accordance to what is wrongly mentioned in the useless media rhetoric about Democratic socialism needs to read this book. When I was working towards my economics degree, we did not define democratic socialism as communism as stated by politicians and a certain demographic target group. I was under the impression, that socialism is when the government participates, not own or command the economy which is what communism is. As stated in this book socialism is when the government decides to participate in the market place assuming it is making it more efficient with wage and price controls. Usually found in utilities, cable, industries in the form of a govt regulatory body that works with industry to arrive at a perceived effient price point so as to allow all members of society to participate in the market place. When you complain about your cable bill, be thankful for the regulation already there, as your bill would be $1000 a month. Read the book and a enlighten yourself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should Be Required Reading *by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017* This book should be required reading in order to graduate from high school. Friedman cogently and clearly articulates why free-market capitalism has and will continue to do more for all humans than any other substitute economic program. While socialism has always led to a reduction in liberty and a squelching of innovation, free-markets allow individuals to produce and consume according to their own wants and needs. Besides providing competition that always drives down costs and improves quality, free-markets mean individuals, not the nanny state decide how they will live their lives. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/99231715-free-to-choose-a-personal-statement](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/99231715-free-to-choose-a-personal-statement) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-31*
