Capitalism and Freedom

Capitalism and Freedom provides the definitive statement of an immensely influential economic philosophy—one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. It teaches ways on how to benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom. This book is one of the most significant works of economic theory ever written. Enduring in its eminence and esteem, it has sold nearly a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and continues to inform economic thinking and policymaking around the world.
