Milton Friedman Schools Young Idealist - 2 (Stanford)

- Опубликовано: 3 апр 2011
- In this archival Free To Choose Network footage, Milton Friedman takes Q & A at Stanford University. The classic exchange might as well have taken place yesterday. The young man's questions get to the heart of tension between the values of liberty and equality -- a tension that is still with us. Friedman dissolves egalitarianism by pointing out a simple fact: wealth redistribution creates state power elites, not equality. And the fact of coercion remains.

Remember - the kid might be wrong, but he's polite. He asks his questions and listens to the answers. It doesn't happen today. Today's students have been taught to ruin/disrupt... not to discuss.
A libertarian economist getting rounds of applause at Stanford? Times HAVE changed.
Can you imagine this type of civility in today's college campuses? SJWs etc would scream randomly in the middle of this exchange, call him a racist, a bigot etc and forcefully shut this down.
I worked for two companies, both started by immigrants, one a Cuban and one an Australian. They had come to US with nothing, earned engineering degrees by scraping by, worked for a while then started their own engineering practices, eventually hiring others to build companies, one in Houston and one in Dallas. Forty years later they are millionaires. That their paths were similar is indicative of the greatness of America, where someone can start with nothing, work hard and build a fortune.
"a society that aims for equality before liberty will end up with neither equality nor liberty" utterly brilliant
The world is a much poorer place without Friedman in it. He was a real gem.
The quality of professors/lectures has gone down somewhat since this lol.
When you talk about equality but your parents can afford Stanford
One thing I love when watching Milton Friedman educating and correcting these young skulls full of mush is that he never berates or condemns them. The only embarrassment or humiliation they suffer is simply a byproduct of Dr. Friedman correcting them or pointing out the hypocrisy in their arguments. He never went out of his way to humiliate them no matter how easy it would be.
Listened to this twice to watch the guy in red shirt behind questioner as some here said about. Listening to this twice, MAN, Friedman has a way with words!!! He spoke on a level of kindness and sincerity towards this young man in a manner that was far above his vocabulary concerning his question. In other words Friedman did not speak down to him at all. He pauses as he speaks at the right time to let it sink in and then continues, all in kindness. He never be littles in anyway. This was back when you could talk to students. Today the students shout and cuss and are incapable of reasoning.
Sad to say,but if MF came to a college these days he’d be called a fascist.
"It is not immediately easy to become in the wealthy class."
I like this because they're both so soft spoken and respectful to each other. No shouting, no anger, no nothing. Just a good solid disagreement and bridge to understanding
Sit down, Ché.
I had the great pleasure in 1995 to meet Dr. Friedman. The meeting is a wonderful memory that will always be one of my most cherished.
Ah! The olden days when the socialists were a distinct minority in universities.
Almost 40 years ago he said this...everything he said is absolutely true, as it was then, as it was before his time, and as it is now.
"Society which tries to achieve equality before liberty....." Great Quote
Man I wish we had Milton Friedman around today..... Amazingly wise.
what a great quote. "A society that aims for equality before liberty will end up with neither equality or liberty." A takes from B to give to C and takes a commission along the way. Priceless.
