Power of the Market
America's freedom and prosperity

also explains the price system. Friedman visits Hong Kong, U.S. and

The
Tyranny of Control
Government planning and detailed
control of economic activity lessens productive innovation, and
consumer choice. Good, better, best, are replaced by "approved" or
"authorized." Friedman shows how "established" industries or methods,
seek government protection or subsidization in their attempts to stop
or limit product improvements which they don't control. Friedman visits
India, Japan and U.S. 60 min

Freedom
& Prosperity
The Great Depression has been
popularly viewed as a failure of capitalism. The stock market crash,
the failure of the Bank of the United States, loss of personal savings,
were visible symbols supporting this belief. As Friedman explains, the
real cause was the unseen failure of government policy and action. Yet
this crisis resulting from government failure leads to decades of
government expansion.
|
The
Failure of Socialism
The welfare state arises from the
attempt to do good with other people's money. Such attempts always fail
because: Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as his own.
Welfare is supply driven. Those spending the money use force to collect
it and to insure those receiving it use it for "right" purposes. Good
intentions are corrupted by bad means. Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.
|
Created
Equal
The Declaration of Independence
says, "all men are created equal." Friedman explains that this did not
mean all persons should or will have equal talents or income. Equal
opportunity to better one's self, and the right to personally benefit
from the gains realized, are consistent with freedom. Equality of
results requires force. Taking from some to give to others destroys
freedom and removes the incentive for creating new wealth. Friedman
visits India, U.S. and Britain.

What's
wrong with our schools
Parental choice and parental
responsibility in the education of children is the U.S. tradition and
is consistent with a free society. Centralized government control has
eroded freedom and adversely affected the quality of education. The
poor help pay for education for the future rich. Friedman has long
advocated using vouchers to solve the problem. He explains why.
Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.

Who
Protects the Consumer
Various government agencies have
been created on the claim that they will protect the consumer. These
agencies restrict freedom, stifle beneficial innovation, and become
agents for the industries or groups they are intended to regulate.
Friedman explains how the apparent chaos of the market place, the
competition of many suppliers for business, is the best protection of
consumer interests.
|
Who
Protects the Worker
Unions sometimes protect some
workers - their members - but usually at the expense of other workers.
Government protects its employees and special groups of workers at the
expense of other workers. Both unions and government restrict freedom.
Friedman explains how the competition of employers for the talents of
workers leads to the highest wages and best working conditions.
|
How
to Cure Inflation
Inflation results when the amount of
money printed or coined increases faster than the creation of new goods
and services. Money is a "token" of the wealth of a nation. If more
tokens are created than new wealth, it takes more tokens to buy the
same goods. Friedman explains why politicians like inflation, and why
wage and price controls are not solutions to the problem. Friedman
visits Japan, U.S. and Britain.

How
to Stay Free
Democracies have only recently been
considered desirable. Historically, it was feared that democracies
always self destruct when citizens, forgetting that you cannot remove
want and misery through legislation, insist on government actions that
physically and morally bankrupt their nation. Friedman explains why the
United States has so far avoided this outcome and how we can continue
to do so. This program includes an interview of Dr. Friedman by
Lawrence E. Spivak.

Liberty
and Economics
 What
kind of man was Ludwig von Mises? As this unique film shows, Mises
(1881-1973) was a man who never stopped fighting for freedom: not when
the Nazis burned his books, not when the Left blackballed him at
universities, not when it seemed as if statism had won. With courage
and genius, he fought big government until the day he died ... in 25
books, hundreds of articles, and more than 60 years of teaching.
Mises's battles against Communists, Nazis,
and other socialists, are
featured in this film, as are his ideas of Liberty. There is also the
old Vienna he loved, the Bolshevik prime minister he dissuaded from
Communism, and a cast of villains from Lenin to Hitler, as well as such
supporters and students as Murray Rothbard, Ron Paul, Bettina Greaves,
M. Stanton Evans, Mary Peterson, Joseph Sobran, and Yuri Maltsev.
Among his many accomplishments, Mises
showed that socialism had to
fail, that central banking causes recessions and depressions, that the
gold standard is honest money, and that only laissez-faire capitalism
is fully compatible with Western civilization. Mises was the
twentieth
century's foremost economist, and one of its most important champions
of Liberty. Here is a film that does justice to this extraordinary man,
and to his equally extraordinary ideas

Hans-Hermann
Hoppe is an Austrian-school economist and leading libertarian
philosopher. He is German born and Professor of Economics at UNLV
(Nevada), Distinguished Fellow with the Ludwig von Mises Institute,
Founder and President of The Property and Freedom Society, and
Editor-at-Large of the Journal of Libertarian Studies.
He is the author of several widely-discussed books and articles in
defense of libertarian rights, based on the ethics theories of
philosophers Jürgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel. Hoppe
analyzed the behavior of government and defines government as "a
territorial monopolist of jurisdiction and taxation". Assuming
self-interest on the part of government officials, he concludes that
these government officials use their monopoly privileges to maximize
their own wealth and power. Hoppe provides historical
data proving his theoretical assumptions.

As
a
member of the House of Representatives,
Dr. Ron Paul is the leading advocate for freedom. He tirelessly
works for limited
government, low
taxes, "Austrian" free market economics, and a return to sound
monetary policy. As a Republican he strongly opposed the
foreighn policy of the the
Bush administration and
advocates a
fast redrawal of
US troops from Irak. Texan Ron Paul was first seen
as an outsider, but his sincere call to limit the size, scope, and
power of government has won him the hearts and minds
of young people allover America, Democrats as well as Republicans. In
just a few weeks and despite little attention
from the mainstream media he
has become the favorite candidate of the young generation and is now
the most
popular candidate on
the internet. For Ron Paul his amazing success proves American people
are tired of the iron fist approach to their
lives, and are disillusioned
with the solutions the candidates of the establishment have on
offer. Taxation and federal
interference
in
private affairs have come to a point people just dont
take it any more.
