One of the final interviews with Milton Freedman, the world’s most influential economist after Keyens (predicted stagflation of 70’s)
- The govt. basically caused the great depression and hire economists to lie about it, causing the public to imagined it was capitalism that had failed.

- The govt is generally greedy, and because of govt. greed, will probably get seriously out of hand this decade
- Skip the book stuff in the middle
- Business is increasingly being seen as social welfare institutions, instead of “for profit”
- Free economics is really due large in part to business manipulating govt. on a grand scale
- Bad laws stick around forever, sometimes in part due to rational ignorance.
- Bad times are short lived, and we are all generally improving over the big picture.
