Box 102 Telephone talk to the Mont Pélerin Society regional meeting in Rockford, Illinois,1971 August
AccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0002068Scope and Contents noteFriedman analyzes where the world is in the pull between collectivism andindividualism. Focusing on the world of ideas, he begins by noting the world of affairs.With a nod to Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, he says the world is less far down theroad than how he and Hayek expected the world to be in 1971 when the book wasfirst published. In the world of ideas, he begins by noting a recent renewed upsurgeagainst the market and toward collectivism. Believing the experiences since the bookhave confirmed Hayek's predictions and opinions, he cites East/West Germany andBerlin as proof.Friedman spends most of his time speculating as to why intellectuals tend towardcollectivism. Though he admits he has not researched for concrete proof, he analyzestheories as to how intellectuals' self-interest leads them to this disposition. Hebelieves it is counter-intuitive, as there is an incredible stake that intellectuals have inthe free market of ideas for themselves. However, he believes the main reason is thatthere is a larger demand/market for collectivist ideas than individualist ideas, citingthe boom in intellectual jobs as part of the New Deal. Friedman says the argument forcollectivism is a simple, but compelling devil argument: bad people are doing badthings, so give me the power to stop them. Saying intellectuals believe they aresmarter than others, they think they will be the ones given power over the bad guys.He laments that there is no natural law forcing promises to be upheld.The market for individualist ideas, however, is much smaller to Friedman, who says itis a more complex idea, where one cannot easily see an invisible hand working. TheMont Pélerin Society does not go collectivist because of this smaller market. As anaside, Friedman also wonders why the mass media is overwhelmingly collectivist,despite individualist slogans, and why they want to use the government as a tool tofulfill these individualist slogans.
Box 102 "Redressing the Excesses of Keynesianism" (or "Free to Choose"), 1980 July 10
AccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0002061Scope and Contents noteThis speech was given as part of a conference titled "HANDS ON! HANDS OFF! ShouldGovernment Call the Shots or Let the Economic World Unfold?" Friedman speaks oninflation and declining/slow economic growth. Arguing the two as interlinked, he saysthey are common consequence of government growth: extensions of collectivismoverwhelming individualism. He claims energy prices exacerbated both problems, butproblems existed before the energy crisis. On inflation, Friedman says it is entirelymade by government policy by increasing the net quantity of money. He says itintroduces static in market processes and therefore retards economic growth. Hebelieves price and wage controls address the symptoms, but not the causes ofinflation. He argues restraining monetary growth is the cure for inflation. Similarly onslow economic growth, he argues it is caused by an over-governed society wherethere is too much spending and too much regulation. This, in turn, increases inflationaccording to Friedman.In his introductory remarks, he labels himself a radical liberal, one in favor of gettingto the roots of human freedom. He says there is no such thing as public capital;government capital is capital extracted from private individuals. He would prefer todiscuss "governmental" versus private as opposed to "public" versus private. In thequestion-and-answer session, Friedman discusses tax cuts in America, foreign capitalwithin Canada and beyond, the steel industry in America, Art Laffer, and critiques theThatcher government in the UK, saying the policies are generally good, but workingtoo slowly.

Box 102 "The Real Threat to U.S. Security," Commonwealth Club of California, San
Francisco, 1983 April 15Scope and Contents noteFriedman believes the welfare state is the greatest threat to the United States'security, not the Soviet Union. He begins by recalling British humorist Parkin's secondlaw that expenditure rises to meet income. After analyzing the differences in defensespending versus total spending in the 1950s and the 1980s, he notes that non-defensespending is rising out of control. He tells the audience that a Republican-controlledcommittee in Congress cut President Reagan's defense spending and increasednon-defense spending. For solutions, Friedman calls for a constitutional amendment tolimit total spending, and to limit the role of government. He believes there is no areawhere the government is not funding both sides of an issue (i.e. tariffs for one foreigngood and subsidies for another foreign good).The question-and-answer session touches on Social Security, the national debt, theFederal Reserve (of which he is very critical), Chile, and the separation of economistsinto schools. Friedman does not believe the debt is a problem; he is more concernedwith future financial obligations.
Box 102 "The Economy: Where Are We Headed?," Commonwealth Club of California, San
Francisco, 1984 July 27Box 102 "Is Hyperinflation Inevitable?," Commonwealth Club of California, San Francisco,
1985 June 28Scope and Contents noteFriedman speaks about the effect of the new world monetary structure, where acommodity backs no currency. He recites the history of currencies, bothcommodity-based and fiat, in various countries, noting the dollar went off the goldstandard first in 1914 though only formalized in 1971. He then looks at Fisher's thesisthat currencies always return to a commodity base after experimenting with papermoney. Friedman disagrees with Fisher. He explains that inflation is used to decreasethe national debt's percentage of GDP. However, he says countries generally takeactions to bring down inflation once it becomes prominent because inflation ispolitically unpopular. Friedman ends for calling for an institutional and constitutionalrule for monetary policy in America, but asks to not be misunderstood as calling for areturn to the gold standard.Additional topics covered during the question-and-answer session include waveanalysis, the trade and budget deficits, how to balance a budget, the InternationalMonetary Fund especially its activities after the breakdown of Bretton Woods as aworld central bank, Argentina, OPEC, corporate taxes, Fed rate non-predictions, andFriedman's distaste for a political appointment.

Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0006837Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: Consumer legislation doesn't in the end protect theconsumer; rather, it benefits the consumer advocates, including reformers, specialinterest groups, and regulatory agencies. What does protect the consumer?Alternative sources of supply at variable prices are the inevitable result ofinternational competition--free trade."Let me emphasize: Competition does not protect the consumer because businessmenare more soft hearted than bureaucrats or because they are more altruistic orbecause they are more generous, but only because it is in the self-interest of theentrepreneur to protect the consumer."

Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0006838Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: The quality of public education in America today in manyplaces is deplorable. Dr. Friedman identifies (1) the increasing centralization andbureaucratization of the educational establishment, which inhibits educators fromseeing and responding to the needs of their "consumers"--parents and students; (2)our altered view of the relationship between the individual and society--the shift fromseeing the individual as responsible for oneself to seeing the individual as someonecontrolled by social forces. An obvious solution is to give power back to the parents.The voucher system is an especially effective means of exercising that power; it canfoster competition among public and private institutions and incite them to offer us abetter quality educational "product.""In the nineteenth century, the schools, even in crowded cities and in urban cities,might not have been affluent, they might not have had the best facilities, but they hadan atmosphere in which the individual was made responsible for his own developmentand learning... In the twentieth century, the concept has been that the schools are anexpression of society's values and interests which should be imposed upon the child."
Box 235 "Is Capitalism Humane?," lecture delivered at Cornell University, 1977 September
27Physical Description: 3.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007222Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: The question is irrelevant. Capitalism per se is not humaneor inhumane. Nor is socialism. If we compare the two in terms of results, it is clear thatonly capitalism fosters equality and works toward social justice. The one is based onthe principle of voluntary cooperation and free exchange, the other on force ofposition and power. In a free economy, it is hard to do good--you either have to useyour own hard-earned money to do it or work hard to persuade others to your course.But by the same token, it is difficult to do harm because by preventing aconcentration of power, capitalism prevents people from committing sustained,serious harm. Is capitalism humane or inhumane? It is neither. But it tends to give freerein to the human values of human beings."Capitalism has repelled people, it has driven them away from supporting it, becausethey have thought it emphasized self-interest in a narrow way. They were repelled bythe idea of people pursuing their own interests rather than some broader interests.Yet it is clear that the results go the other way around. Only those countries in whichcapitalism has prevailed over long periods have experienced both freedom andprosperity."Additional summary generated by Hoover: At the beginning, Friedman, clearlyanimated, responds to protestors criticizing his work in Chile. He also speaks aboutwhat freedom of speech means.

Box 235 "Who Protects the Worker?," lecture delivered before a live studio audience atWQLN-TV, Erie, Pennsylvania, 1977 September 29
Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007235Scope and Contents noteUnions offer protection to workers in some situations, but union membershiprepresents only one fifth of the American labor force. And while some unions dobenefit their members, it is generally at the expense of competing works andfrequently at the expense of the consumer. Government? Government provides someprotection, but its efforts are minor. Some workers with only one possibleemployer--or with no possible employer--enjoy very little protection. The right answerto the question "Who protects the worker?" is that the worker is protected byemployers--by the existence of other employers who can and will compete for his orher services if a present employer fails to provide decent wages and workingconditions. The only real way to protect the standard of living of the American workeris to preserve a freely competitive market."Workers are protected by employers. Not by [their] own employer[s], because theman who has only one possible employer has no protection. The employers whoprotect the worker are the people who would like to hire him but for whom he doesn'twork. The real protection that a worker gets is the existence of more than onepossible employer."

Dr. Friedman's view of America'spresent situation is not sanguine. He identifies the chief problem and its corollarysolution: We must restore the prestige and influence of the single mechanism mostresponsible for America's greatness--the free market. Our greatest defense againstbecoming over-governed is the free market."I believe very deeply that we are nearing the point of no return. We still have thechoice, but if we continue much longer along the road that we have been going we nolonger shall have the choice. We shall degenerate into a society which will lose thatspark of creativity, that spark of independence, of freedom, that we have all loved inour country."

Physical Description: 4.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007226Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: Five myths cloud our perception of both the past and thepresent. (1) The "robber baron" myth which holds that in late nineteenth-centuryAmerica there were powerful men who became rich at the expense of the poor. Thereality is that they became wealthy by being productive, and that there is no otherperiod in history which saw such a rapid and widespread improvement in thewell-being of the average individual. (2) The myth that the Great Depression wascaused by a failure of business. It was, in fact, produced by the Federal ReserveSystem. (3) The myth that government in the economy has expanded in response topublic demand. Actually, the pubic has had to be sold "hard" for politicians to enactevery major social program. (4) The "free lunch" myth. No matter how thegovernment raises money--by taxing individuals, by taxing businesses, or by printingmore money--it is the individual who pays. (5) The myth that government, like RobinHood, transfers wealth from the rich to the poor. The reality is that the governmentusually transfers wealth and income from both the very rich and the very poor tothose in the middle."The Great Depression was produced... by a failure of government, by a failure ofmonetary policy. It was produced by a failure of the Federal Reserve System to act inaccordance with the intentions of those who established it. It was produced by afailure of the Federal Reserve System despite the presence of knowledge on the partof many of the people in the System about the right course of action."An unrelated program is also on the third original cassette.
Box 235 "Money and Inflation," lecture delivered under the auspices of the University of
San Diego and the San Diego Chamber of Commerce, 1977 November 7Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007230Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: Inflation is blamed on many things. But it has only onecause: It is a monetary phenomenon. Inflation occurs when the quantity of moneyincreases faster than the quantity of goods. Why does the money supply increase?Very often, it does so to enable the government to pay its bills without raising taxes.There's only one real cure for inflation. It is a cure that's easy to describe but difficultto apply: The government must reduce spending and print less money. Thealternatives are both recession and double-digit inflation."Printing money is a very attractive device because inflation, from the point of view ofa person sitting in Congress or in the Senate, is a wonderful tax. He doesn't have tovote for it. Have you ever known a congressman who got up and said, 'I vote toimpose a tax in the form of inflation of 10 percent next year'?"

Box 235 "Is Tax Reform Possible?," lecture delivered before a meeting of the AmericanismEducation League, Pasadena, California, 1978 February 6
Physical Description: 3.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007223Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: Why do Americans pay more in taxes than they really wantto? Can they do anything about it? Americans must understand that their true taxburden is what the government spends--regardless of who that spending isfinanced--and that if government spending goes up faster than prices in general, thereal tax burden increases. Simplifying the system is far from easy, but the real defectis not in the tax system, anyway, but in the budget structure. Our only hope for taxreduction is in establishing constitutional provisions that will set limits on governmentspending."In no way is anybody proposing to cut taxes because President Carter has proposedan increase in federal government spending, an increase which is larger than theanticipated increase in prices; so it's an increase in real terms and indeed a largerincrease than that which appears in his official budget because of the continued useand invention of more and more sophisticated methods to conceal actual spending,the latest gimmick being to treat subsidies given by the government as refunds oftaxes collected from somebody else."
Box 235 "The Role of Government in a Free Society," lecture delivered at Stanford
University, 1978 February 9Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007241Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: John Stuart Mill said, in effect, that self-protection is the onlylegitimate reason for people to interfere with the freedom of others. If we are to definethe role of government in a free society, we must first specify what we mean byself-protection. Defense from foreign enemies and protection of property, includingthe enforcement of private contracts, are clearly legitimate functions of government.But when we come to two other functions of government--providing a substitute forvoluntary cooperation when it appears impossible to achieve, and providing forirresponsible individuals--the justification is much less clear-cut, because in a freesociety people should be able to take risks but should not be able to force others topay the consequences. If the proper limitations of government action were observed,the government would not do many things it now does. We should not resort togovernment regulation until we have adequately explored the possibilities forcoordinating our activities through voluntary means. If we understood the implicationsof our own values, we would not allow ourselves to be "front men" for values weoppose merely because we are confused about the meaning of freedom and thelegitimate role of government in a free society."You and I as well-meaning people may say that government should step in to correctthis or that market failure, but once we get the government into the act it's going togo according to its own rules, and those rules will mean that the ultimate results arevery different than the initial intent. The will will be different than the deed. When thegovernment steps in and make mistakes and has failures, they're going to be bigfailures and not little ones."

Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007233Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: It's pointless to try to predict the availability of adequatesources of energy. What we need is an adjustable mechanism to enable us to adapt towhatever happens. We already have such a mechanism: The market helps us maketransitions to the future--just as it has done in the past--if it is allowed to operatefreely. Our present energy crisis exists because this crucial mechanism has not beenallowed to function freely. Our prospects will be much improved if we can devisemeans to abolish--or at least work around--the government controls that interfere withthe production and distribution and use of energy."We tend to forget that the price and wage control measures of 1971 bear a greatdeal of responsibility for our present oil problem. They have been eliminated on everyother product but not on oil. The retention of price controls on oil has discouragedproduction, encouraged consumption, increased the fraction of our energy that comesfrom abroad, and established new vested interests in the maintenance of controls."

Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007238Scope and Contents noteWe live under a form of slavery--government domination of the market economy. Wehave come a long way from a truly free economy: consider the number of markets towhich new firms do not have free access; consider the erosion of expression forbusiness people; consider the plethora of government regulations American businessmust contend with. Can these trends be reversed? It is harder to repeal laws than passthem. Private business is unfortunately short-sighted when it turns to politics. Butcount among the favorable signs the very inefficiency of government--and theAmerican public's growing recognition of this fact. Business qua business can dorelatively little to reverse this trend (though it can at least become more sophisticatedand farsighted in political planning), but business people as individuals, as citizens,must seek to persuade the public that we are already on the road to a collectiviststate, that if we continue it, we will lose prosperity and liberty."If we continue the trend to a collectivist economy, continue the trend to a societycontrolled by government, we shall lose not only our economic advantages but alsoour political freedom. We cannot continue half slave and half free, and if we continuein the direction of slavery we shall end up as a collectivist totalitarian society."

Part ofthe answer lies in a simple political principle--interests that are concentrated (those ofthe producer) are more politically effective than interests that are diffuse (those of theconsumer). Protectionism does not create jobs or move goods; rather, it forces us toexpend greater effort to get the goods we produce, since they cost more to produce athome than abroad. The balance of payments can take care of itself, provided we donot manipulate foreign exchange markets to put an artificial value on the dollar. Theright solution is to dismantle systematically our own trade barriers and set an examplefor the rest of the world."The people who are harmed by [trade] protection are spread and diffused. Indeed thevery language shows the political pressure. We call a tariff a protective measure. Itdoes protect; it protects the consumer very well against one thing. It protects theconsumer against low prices. And yet we call it protection."
Box 235 "Equality and Freedom in the Free Enterprise System," lecture delivered under the
sponsorship of NASA at the College of William and Mary, Newport News Campus,1978 May 1
Physical Description: 2.0 audio cassettesAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007236Scope and Contents noteSummary of brochure: If the government has the power and responsibility to promoteequality of income, then how do we define the concept of equality? Jefferson, in hisDeclaration of Independence, meant equality before the law, a concept necessaryprecisely because people are not equal in tastes, values, or capacities. Later, equalitycame to mean equality of opportunity--the chance to run a fair race. Within a freemarket system, both definitions are consistent with other values: Efficiency, justice,and liberty. More recently, equality has come to mean equality of outcome. Equality ofoutcome cannot be mandated, cannot be insured. Any serious attempt to achieve itwould destroy freedom."Any society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. On the otherhand, a society that puts freedom first will, as a happy byproduct, end up with bothgreater freedom and greater equality."

Box 235 "The Economics of Medical Care," lecture delivered at the Mayo Foundation,Rochester, Minnesota, 1978 May 19
Physical Description: 1.0 audio cassetteAccessUse copy reference number: 77011_a_0007229Scope and Contents noteSummary from brochure: Increasing government involvement in medical care will takeus toward fully socialized medicine. This trend is clearly against the interests ofpatients, physicians, and other health care personnel. There is of course no such thingas free health care--you either pay for it directly, or via the tax system, withbureaucrats taking their usual cut along the way. The reality of the situation is thatgovernment involvement in the economics of medical care leads directly to highercosts for that care. There is no special role for government in medical care.Government should do there only what it does in other fields--enforce laws againstfraud and deception, and offer some assistance (comparable to flood or tornado relief)to those in extreme medical distress."The major reason for the rise in the cost per day of hospital care is not a rise in pricesin excess of inflation--not at all. The major reason is an increase in the number,variety, and complexity of the procedures that are being used, tests that are beingmade, services that are being rendered to the American citizen."
