Free To Choose: The Original 1980 TV Series – Now Streaming on Amazon Prime Video!

July 31st, 2018FreeToChooseNetwork0 Comments

Milton Friedman’s groundbreaking Free To Choose series brought his ideas of individual and economic freedom to millions in 1980. Now, in honor of what would have been his 106th birthday, we are bringing those principles to even more by making it available on Amazon Prime. His most well-known legacy is now easily accessible, and streaming on one of the world’s largest video platforms.

About Free To Choose: The Original 1980 TV Series:
Free To Choose® is the ground-breaking PBS television series featuring Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist. These programs, filmed on location around the world, have helped millions of people understand the close relationship between the ideas of human freedom and economic freedom. The interaction between those ideas has created in the U.S. the richest and freest society the world has ever known. Milton Friedman sees this success threatened by the tendency in the last few decades to assume that government intervention is the answer to all problems. In these programs, which first aired on January 11, 1980, Dr. Friedman focuses on basic principles. How do markets work? Why has socialism failed? Can government help economic development? The 1980 version consists of 10 one-hour programs.

Is America in Retreat? Airing on Public Television

March 24th, 2017FreeToChooseNetwork0 Comments

When the U.S. assumed the PAX, it assumed responsibility for global order, but for how long? Just how deeply entangled should America be in the world’s affairs? What alternatives are there to being the world’s policemen? Is there really a downside to retreat? And in the absence of the U.S., how might global order be maintained – or decimated? In a companion documentary to America in Retreat by Wall Street Journal’s Pulitzer Prize winning columnist Bret Stephens, Free To Choose Executive Editor and Cato Senior Fellow Johan Norberg examines the questions facing a nation leaning back toward isolationism.

Dead Wrong™ with Johan Norberg – How Not to Make a Sandwich (VIDEO)

February 1st, 2017FreeToChooseNetwork0 Comments

Our ancestors produced everything they needed themselves. Whereas we consume things we don’t even understand how they’re created. Division of labor has resulted in an absurd alienated world. Wouldn’t self-sufficiency be more natural? Dead wrong.

Dead Wrong™ with Johan Norberg – The Elephant Graph (VIDEO)

November 17th, 2016FreeToChooseNetwork0 Comments

Here’s Free To Choose Media Executive Editor and Cato Institute Senior Fellow Johan Norberg on how.
