The Indispensable Milton Friedman: Essays on Politics and Economics
About this product
Milton Friedman is one of the most famous economists in history. His writings and theories on everything from capitalism and freedom to deregulation and welfare have inspired movements, influenced government policies, and changed the course of America’s economic history.
Now, acclaimed Friedman biographer Dr. Lanny Ebenstein brings together twenty of Friedman’s greatest essays in his new book, The Indispensable Milton Friedman: Essays on Politics and Economics. The only collection of Friedman’s writings to span his entire career, The Indispensable Milton Friedman: Essays on Politics and Economics features some of Friedman’s never-before-republished writings as well as the best and most timeless of his works.
These exceptional essays not only illuminate the progression of Friedman’s thought, but explain how America might overcome some of its most difficult challenges. Broken into two sections, politics and economics, The Indispensable Milton Friedman shows how we can ultimately turn America around, and is more necessary than ever during this critical election year and time of economic uncertainty.

Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this is a thoughtful, informative collection of essays that works well as an introduction to Milton Friedman’s ideas, with several calling it an easy read and good value. Goodreads readers similarly describe it as readable, intellectually stimulating, and useful for students of Friedman, though some note that a few essays are more engaging than others. A YouTube result titled Lanny Ebenstein: The Indispensable Milton Friedman appears to be directly about the book and its author. No other clearly relevant YouTube review or unboxing result was found in the available search results.
