Testing Milton Friedman

This is like the discussions between so-called experts after the fact. After many great speeches and dissertations are spoken especially on television you end up getting hours of so-called experts telling you what you just heard and why it is good or bad.

We get the late Milton Friedman clips and soundbites. Then we have so-called experts defining what we just heard.

In season one episode one "Equality of Opportunity," we get a discussion on whether equal opportunity is as stated in the Constitution or has it changed into a 1984 version when applied by the government. War is peace, freedom is slavery, affirmative action is not equal opportunity.

In season one episode two "Government Control," we get "distinguished" guests discussing the relevance of Friedman's ideas today.

Amity Shlaes, author of "The Forgotten Man: The History of the Great Depression." Austin Goolsbee, former chair of the Council of economic advisors in the Obama administration, and a professor of economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.

Brian Kaplan, a professor of economics at George Mason University.

Clarence Page, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist at the Chicago Tribune

We get a clip from "Free to Choose" (the NRA).

The program could use an update after the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Do all the same discussions apply?

In season one episode three "Free Markets" The question posed is, "Do Friedman's Ideas on Free markets still hold up today?" "Are they still relevant?" We ask four more school professors.

Should third-world countries have OSHA?

Should we have OSHA?

This can be fun to watch but, in the end, it is just a discussion of known concepts and will probably have no effect on one's pre-selected views.
