Quicklets: Learn more. Read Less. About Milton Friedman Milton Friedman was a Nobel prize-winning American economist and academic from the University of Chicago. He advised president Ronald Reagan, and his theories on limited government and free markets influenced politics well after Reagan. Friedman called himself a classic liberal, and opposed many forms of government regulation in pursuit of the widest feasible realm of freedom for the individual or family unit. He was also know for the book Free To Choose, co-written by his wife Rose. About Capitalism and Freedom This book formulates markets as chief proponents of personal freedoms and warns against the tyrannical force government can wield by intruding on economics. It describes the rise of capitalism occurring in tandem with the rise of freedom in general, and attempts to fight against what Milton Friedman saw as the expanding role of government in American and Western life after the second World War. BOOK EXCERPT From the Overall Summary: Friedman begins the book with a broad philosophical consideration of the relationship between free markets and free society, concluding that the two are inextricably and necessarily linked together. He traces his ideas to the European liberals of the eighteenth century, then describes the assault on these values through the first half of twentieth-century America. The liberal movement sparked a counter-movement among American intellectuals which sought increasing governmental control in the name of protecting the public, culminating in the New Deal. Friedman then goes on to argue that the role of government must be scaled back. Central planning, he says, will inevitably lead to violations of personal freedom. We need to agree on the laws, the "rules of the game", and the government must enforce those laws. Beyond that, it must sit back and let us play the game as we choose. Trade restrictions are burdensome, hurtful to the economy and a dangerous overreach of government. The most effective way to turn a market economy into an authoritarian one, says Friedman, is to the impose direct controls on foreign exchange; one step in that direction leads to further controls. A free-floating exchange, based on the market, ought to decide international currency values, not government price settings. ..To be continued! Quicklets: Learn more. Read less.

Quicklet on Glenn Greenwald's With Liberty and Justice for Some (CliffNotes-like Summary)

By: Danny Fenster

ABOUT THE BOOK As a journalist, I have taken a duty to serve as a “watchdog” against injustice and government improprieties. In With Liberty and Justice for Some, journalist and political commentator Glenn Greenwald attacks many mainstream “elite” journalists’ and journalism organizations for facilitating and even championing egregious criminal behavior on the part of the politically and financially powerful. It is therefore necessary that I understand and evaluate such claims, in order that I may avoid my own improprieties. Further, as a journalist that specifically covers federal law enforcement, I must understand the workings and criticisms of the American judicial system, the final arbiter of justice and law enforcement in the United States. Greenwald’s book is an indictment against the judicial system in America and, while I cover the executive functions of policing criminal activity, those executive functions cannot be separated from the outcomes of the court system; if justice fails in the courts, it implicates the entire process of law enforcement in that failure as well. MEET THE AUTHOR Danny Fenster is a graduate of the journalism school at Columbia College, where he studied long-form and narrative journalism. He has freelanced for Time Out Chicago and covered city politics at the news-and-culture website Gapers Block, as well as several community newspapers throughout Chicago. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Routinely, the politically and financially well-connected commit crimes with impunity. It began when Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon over crimes committed during the Watergate scandal. In explaining his decision, Ford gave “what have by now become the standard cliches our political class uses to justify immunity.” The prosecution of the former president would be too painful and too costly to the morale of the country; the best we could do is put the past behind us and look ahead. That excuse was used to subvert the investigation of the Reagan administration’s involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal, both by Reagan and his predecessor, George Bush; Bill Clinton successfully campaigned on a pledge to investigate wrongdoing in the previous Bush administration - including the illegal supplying of money and arms to Saddam Hussein in his fight against Iran - only to use this same excuse upon election...
