In this powerful and persuasive book two distinguished economists, Milton Friedman and his wife, Rose, unravel the mysteries of economics for the man or woman in the street (Wall Street or Main Street). They show us how our freedom has been eroded and our prosperity undermined through the explosion of laws, regulations, agencies, and spending in Washington, how good intentions often produce deplorable results when government is the middleman. And then they tell us what to do if we want to expand our freedom and promote prosperity. If you have ever wondered why you are paying someone else's old-age pension instead of saving for your own old age, why the Federal Reserve doesn't control inflation and recessions as it was set up to do, why some industries and some workers get a better shake than the rest of us, whether equal opportunity for all also has to mean that everyone gets the same income regardless of productivity, this book is for you. Milton and Rose Friedman assert our free society is in danger. Their analysis of what went wrong and how to correct it, so forcefully and clearly expressed in this book, is vital to America's future economic health. - Jacket flap.
