"Free to Choose," a National Survival Kit
This video series is shared here in honor of Milton Friedman's 100th birthday!

How would you like to find a survival kit for freedom?  

What would you give for such a valuable kit?

 President Ronald Reagan has one for you.  It's called "Free to Choose" by Milton Friedman. 

In the video below President Reagan praises Nobel Prize winner, Milton Friedman, and the principles he teaches.  

President Reagan said that Milton Friedman's work is "of rare importance,"  and his lecture series, "Free to Choose," teaches concepts that “led to our prosperity and have given us our freedom.”   

In fact, Reagan calls "Free to Choose" a "survival kit for you, for our nation, and for freedom."       The videos were made decades ago, but they are more relevant today than ever!

Below are all 10 "Free to Choose" lectures. Each video title is linked to the transcript for that video.

The videos and transcripts are a goldmine of valuable principles.  I hope you enjoy them! 

Note:  Links to Milton Friedman's autobiography, and other great resources, are included after the "Free to Choose" videos.

In the schools and media we are taught we need government regulations to take care of us in today's complex world.  Milton Friedman explains a few of the reasons why government regulations can hurt more than help.  This is a good conversation to have with our kids so they don't buy into the need for massive government bureaucracy and intervention in their lives.




Regulations Can Hurt Consumers



 
 

Milton Friedman would have been 99 today.  He could share more insights in 2 minutes than most politicians can in 2 hours.  Milton's teachings still contribute to the conversation to promote freedom.  You might want to watch these short videos with your kids to celebrate Milton's birthday.
