Features: The 26 chapters collected in this book are only a small part of the numerous works published by Milton Friedman since 1935. The five parts of the book demonstrate the breadth of Friedman's research areas. These works are broadly divided into two categories. Most of the articles (including all articles in the second, third, and fourth parts) are strictly academic papers related to empirical economics, primarily studying how the economy works. These articles are relevant to both collectivist economies and fully individualist economies. Conversely, the majority of articles in the fifth part primarily focus on economic policy issues, not only criticizing policies implemented by governments but also proposing policy recommendations.
