چکیده
ver four decades ago, Milton Friedman published Capitalism and Freedom (Friedman 1962). This insightful little book traveled across a broad range of important topics collected around the theme of how government can best operate within a free society.

For many poor people around the world, the freedom markets grant seems to be more theoretical than real. Consider, for in...
