Milton Friedman on Liberalism - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 401 Liberalism/Friedman: Friedman presents himself as a liberal of the classical era: he denies politicians not only the competence but also, in essence, the political justification to act in the alleged interests of the citizens. Liberty is the best way to prosperity and social equality, while modern liberalism in the USA initially sees more egalitarian prosperity as a prerequisite or also as an alternative to individual freedom(1); (cf. Lerner 1963 (2)). >Autonomy/Friedman, >Democracy/Friedman, >Economic policies/Friedman, >Education policy/Friedman, >Inequalities/Friedman, >Liberty/Friedman, >Neoliberalism/Friedman, >Paternalism/Friedman, >Welfare State/Friedman. 1.
