i knew milton friedman. melissa: you knew milton friedman? >> i knew milton friedman. i will tell you a story if you have time. melissa: my favorite economist of all time. you have new respect. >> 1968, people had dinner in the dorm. people called him names. threw things. he made me look like shaquille o'neal. he would sit down, big smile on his face. mr. friedman, how can you smile with all this? he would say because i'm right. melissa: he was always right. >> monetary policy matters and it matters more than just the superficial where stocks are going. this monetary, look, credit formation is beginning again. households are borrowing a little bit for mortgages. businesses are expanding, because they have got to. they're putting cash to work. that will create jobs. this is not a beautiful world. melissa: milton freed man fan you can't possibly like what ben bernanke is doing. he has perverted monetary policy. >> bernanke, i don't call it a perversion. bernanke said at that, 90th birthday party, we saw what you got wrong in 193. we're not going to get it wrong again. me

>> no doubt milne friedman, run 2001. -- no doubt milton friedman around 2001. ironically, since then, there has been a lot more debate about whether this particular ideology is suitable for durable capitalism. in the dialogues we have organized some people have brought the point that the last 30 or 40 years are actually the historical aberration of ideology around corporations. while we kind of see this as a foregone conclusion that it is a cut of natural law, it is kind of an aberration and that is something to keep in mind. someone else pointed out a number of times in our dialogues about literally the number of public corporations in the u.s. since 1997, dropping by more than half. corporations are one way to organize business activity. i am sure that many of you know of various business forms in which they are legally structured, but the united states has been particularly structured by this one form i and -- for a long time and we may be seeing a move away from that. >> just on that, i want to follow up on that, i think we have seen, with the decrease in p

is an honor to be here and comment on peter's book in the '60s willis friedman and and the shorts set out to do difficult things at a herculean task to challenge the narrative of what caused the great depression. they threaten to the underlying rationale for a system of federal agencies and the way policy makers looked at the world. they were not immediately successful, but because they were right and meticulous and careful unreasoning and relentless and did not shy away from controversy, they had success. the role of the fed and the monetary policy is now well recognize. so much so the chairman to the fed when he faced a similar crisis and recognize the role of the fed and contraction ary monetary policy. that shows avoiding one mistake does not prevent others. hence peter wallison book, a task no less daunting than that faced by a lew friedman and shorts facing an economic disaster and the lessons learned that led to policies and institutions institutions, that must change, will bring on for their calamity. i applaud the effort and i appreciate the format of the book. when i first g

milton friedman's or the lorax 's? >> a lot of you in the room probably know that in 2001, there has been a lot of debate whether this ideology is suitable for endurable capitalism. some people in our dollar ou die brought up the point that the last 30 or 40 years are historical aspiration of ideology around corporations. we see this as a foregone conclusion, but it is an aberration. that is something to keep in mind. that is something to keep in mind. somebody else has pointed out in a number of times, about literally the number of public corporations in the u.s. since 1997 has dropped by more than half. the corporations -- the united states has been particularly dependent on this one form for a long time. we may be seeing a shift away from that, that form. it is not that we will forget how to do business. there might be better ways to do it more sustainably. >> on that, i want to follow up -- i do think we have seen with the decrease in public companies, we have seen the growth in private companies, especially when y

on the same day, attorney general bv, solicitor general bork, friedman and another guy without a titlef the brief on behalf of federal election commission at the united states is a party defending the constitutionality. the department of justice managed to be on opposite sides of the same case as a party and amicus curiae. so if you think buckley is not opinion sustaining some section indistinguishable from others infantilized okay because of the sewer nyro be limited to the core political speech, it had an odd genesys, too. something about the subject that seems to preclude straight talk and honest analysis and not as far as i'm concerned is a good reason why it should not be regulated at all. framers of the constitution of political speech and activity needed protection from legislators. from legislators, number and judges come to it, they are afflicted by self-interest that disabled the analysis. if you want to see a real dispassionate analysis,. this one about the events leading to the immigration and naturalization service against trotta one house veto case which didn't reach the

milton friedman, george whom hung outl of in chicago and challenged the economics of the day and eventually help us turn the world upside down. some years ago, i talked to the author of "commanding heights," a work in which he points out that the 1950's marked the triumph of collectivism the world over. the era of the five-year plan, government enterprise, and the faith in the wisdom of the state the dominated thinking not just in the soviet union and the socialist countries and scandinavia, in britain as well, and, yes, even in the united states. those were the days for believers in economic and political freedom the world over -- those were dark days. chambers' assessment proved wrong, in large part because of the work of the intellectuals, whoers, and publishers, were thinking even as he penned those words. even as the forces of collectivism seemed dominic, a small but growing band of intellectuals were sowing the seeds that would eventually produce the modern republican movement -- even as the forces of collectivism seemed dominant. that one little book sparked a movement of ideas that

>>host: have been talking with american university professor friedman rethink anti-americanism, the history of an exceptional concept in american foreign relations. here is the cover published by cambridge university press. you're watching the tv on c-span2. >> we have to take back media. independent media will save us they are the most powerful institutions on earth. more powerful than any bomb or missile. is an idea that explodes on to the scene. but it doesn't have been when it is contained by the box, the tv screen that we all days after so many hours a week. we need to be able to hear people speaking for themselves outside the box. we cannot afford the status quo any more from global warming to global warning.

laughter ] turns out, hagel's link with "friends of hamas" goes back to daily news reporter dan friedman who asked a republican senate aide looking for dirt in hagel's past if hagel had given a speech to the junior league of hezbollah or the friends of hamas. assuming that no one could take seriously the idea that organizations with those names existed. [laughter] why wouldn't you take it seriously? i mean, if there's no junior league of hezbollah, who puts out the cookbook of bomb recipes? [laughter] besides, the fact that these organizations don't exist only makes it more suspicious that chuck hagel has been tied to them. what else is he hiding that hasn't happened? is he a member of the al qaeda kidz club? [laughter] what about the muslim brotherhood? or the muslim sisterhood of the traveling pants? [cheers and applause] and what about non-islamic non-existent groups? has chuck hagel ever given a speech to cobra? or for that matter cobra kai? has he received donations from the lollipop guild? [laughter] what are his ties to the dead poet's society? and why are they dead? did they know

i think that when the feminist movement came out, betty friedman, herself, we have to really remember this, change and put into words what was on so many people's hearts that they couldn't so articulate, they couldn't have said. and she managed to say at and the effect across this country was like an electric shock. it was as if somebody -- i don't think that it is anything else but perhaps martin luther king. but i can't think of anything else that happened in my lifetime that actually you felt this together. we were going to change the world. we went on a feminist march to washington. we went on peace marches together, groups of women. and suddenly we had a voice. we were different. somebody had to pay attention to us, and it was overwhelming which is what made me vigilant. so, i remember going to the book in the museum to see judy wooful different plates dedicated. i'm not judging this as a work of art. that's not my field. but i can tell you why was there with tv and her younger sister. and i felt as if the world was turning. we weren't going to do this thing. now i may have fough

this is a return to milton friedman monitorism.nitorist bit great call brenner. i did my undergrad at the university of rochester, which is was a monitorist. i didn't get all that keynesian stuff until i went to princeton later on and i've tried to outgrow that ever since. market monitorists want the fed to target nominal gdp, they understand the turnover of money is sinking. they want the fed to get us 5% nominal gdp, not 3.5% to 4. is that fair? i want to credit them with what's due. >> what most market monitors with would say is what they want to target is the trajectory of nominal gdp. let's say you're shooting for 5% a year. so if one year it's 3%, maybe the following year you'd want to make it 7% to get it back on that path. >> i'm not so sure i buy into that. i'm not sure i buy into that. dan, weigh in on that. >> i know we're talking about your views of ben bernanke right now. jimmy p. deserves credit. he's been writing a lot on this longer than right-leaning economists have been saying. i am a nominal gdp targeter. the one

in the mid 1916s milton friedman and anna schwartz set out to do a difficult thing. a herculean task to challenge the prevailing narrative of what caused the great depression. in so doing they friend the underlying rationale for a whole system of major laws, federal agencies, and the very way that policymakers looked at the world. they were not immediately successful but because they were right, and because they were meticulous and careful in their reasoning and because they were relentless and didn't shy away from controversy, they had success. the role of the federal reserve and its confectionery monetary policy at the heart of the depression is now well recognized, so much so it was a guide later to chairman of the federal reserve 40 years later when he faced when he saw as a similar type of crisis and recognized the role of the federal reserve and avoiding confectionary monetary policy. of course that also shows that avoiding one major mistake is not insurance against committing others. hence the importance of peter wallison's book. as he said himself, it is no l

avery friedman in cleveland and richard herman in las vegas. all right, gentlemen. no charges filed against the facility, not against the nurse who made that 911 call. so, richard, why not? >> well, fred, this is an independent living facility, and the patrons in there are elderly. there is a stated no-cpr policy. when you go into this facility, you know this. they tell you up front, we will not resuscitate. there is no cpr policy here. there are no medical staff on the premises. that's also known when you come into this facility. >> so it's an at your own risk, is what you're saying. >> it's an at your own risk. and when an 87-year-old woman goes into respiratory situation like this, they're not going to bring her back. it's hard to hear that phone call. it's incredible that she wouldn't pass the phone on to someone else, and that's what the criticism is right now, why she didn't pass it on. but that's the policy of this facility and it's stated up front, and everybody knows it. >> so, avery, this underscores that you simply can have a policy that relieves you of r

avery friedman joining us from cleveland.ee you. >> hi, fredricka. >> richard herman in new york, joining us from las vegas. good to see you as well. >> hi, fred. >> is it possible because the jury spent so much time listening to arias in such close proximity that they will not be able to sentence her to the death penalty if they find her guilty of premeditated murder? avery. >> well, that's the theory of the defense. i don't know that there's any case in american jurisprudential history that in a capital case has a defendant on the stand for 18 days. then you top that off with 200 questions from juror, which basically only happens in three states. i think no experienced lawyer will ever tell you what the jury going to do, but this is a pretty good idea they're unhappy with this defendant. >> when you talk about that time line, that was a re-enactment by h hln. it's unclear how the jurors will piece together that 62 seconds, because it is really critical. how impactful might that be? her account of all that took place in that

there's optimists like thomas friedman. what is the millennial view on globalization. is it a good thing, is it a bad thing, is it inevitable? >> i think it is a reality and that is perhaps we have had a debate for 25 plus years, even longer in this country about showed we enter the war of globalization or not we are here. that is the world we're living in an wyckoff is a pro reality generation which is on any number of issues where it seems the older generations are still having a debate. this generation sees the reality of the world it may be good and it may be that this is the framework we have to work with we make the world long globalized. there is just not a way to do that in this particular moment. >> host: there was an idea that globalization will help export democracy as a 20-year-old. to the millennials share that optimism and the kinds of projects accomplish in for third world developing countries? >> guest: i think technology has been a force that helps with fat and technology perhaps is the greatest globalize our because platforms in a lot of cases are cou

i wan to read a quote from tom friedman.-palestinian conflict has shifted from a necessity to a hobby. like any hobby, some days you work on it, some days you don't. but it usually doesn't matter when the sweater gets finished. >> actually the president should be happy about 10%. i think robert, i'm right, thinking his approval rating fell to 4% at one time during his first term in office in israel. this is president obama who said he didn't want to make a trip to israel unless it was going to have meaning, unless there was going to have some concrete result of it. nobody is expecting any movement on the peace process there is no peace process between the israelis and palestinians that we can talk of. and benjamin netanyahu is in a weak position at home. what he's being pushed on by israeli voters are economic issues and social issues and not the peace process, that's not high on their list, so he doesn't particularly want to make moves on that the president doesn't see there's any way forward on that. and the only thing rea

x professor friedman author of rethinking anti-americanism. why do they hate us? >> good question they have been asking that since 1899 as i discovered looking at old copies of "the new york times" and it turns out first of all,, is they don't hate us. if we think of world opinion. the united states since we had the advent of scientific polling in the '20s and '30s, in almost every country on the planet at almost any point* in time the united states was more popular than unpopular and americans are much more like to fan disliked. and continue discover there is a very small fringe of various political movements that have hatred for the united states but we are more popular around the world and we believe and that is part of the myth. >> host: you are some of the of the day? who is asking the question? if you think of the context al qaeda seems to have many members who are quite angry at united states and to wish it ill but i found very often in the united states our discussion of opinion rapidly slides into the sense that "they" includes foreigners in general that

at the head of the monetarist attack was economist milton friedman.my opinion, given that there is a federal reserve, the best way for it to operate would be to set targets for a single monetary aggregate and stick to those targets and keep to them as closely as possible. and those targets should be set so as to go from wherever you start to a rate of growth in the money supply which is consistent with zero inflation. schoumacher: on october 6, 1979, paul volcker announced that the fed would no longer target interest rates, but would focus instead on targeting the money supply itself, restraining it until inflation was broken. in a speech before the national press club, he stressed his determination to stick to this long-term course. volcker: will the fed stick with it? my short and simple answer to that question is "yes." and i don't intend to qualify -- i don't intend to qualify that answer. but i do want to be clear, clear about what the "it" is that we intend to stick with.

the credit front i don't seem to be going forward in any material way in reminds me of what milton friedman said a while back while he was still alive that there is no connection between monetary policy and employment so what is bad but i think you talking about when he says we're going to keep the quantitative easing spigot open until unemployment gets down to six nap percent i say does that make any sense to you. well i guess what he's saying is we're going to keep it open indefinitely you know we're all going to be in a race to the bottom and see how much. we can buy back ourselves but you know at some point this is just an unsustainable game there doesn't make any sense going forward if you were let's say running the central bank what would be one or two policies are running the country's economy as a whole what would be wanted to policies that you would bring about to kind of change course if there is anything at this point and no one can do. i'm not sure that there's anything he really can do what's really happened is we quickly into caught into place how does it involve spending too

wouldn't we have loved to have had similar assays by friedman and schwartz during the depression?their time came after that and they were looking backwards. we have the opportunity to have lived with essays that talk about and comment on the situation as it unfolds. i'm struck with the breadth of issues covered, striking insights and remarkable consistency throughout the book in the essays were written. to these the book has new commentary and a primitive suggestion the first chapter to read is the last job your the really post altogether. it is a long book, but one that can be taken by a bank they buy the race organized. it's still short of the dodd-frank out for several hundred pages and costs a lot less. even if you pay the advertised price. like all good books, peter spoke steadily sinking in for a few minutes i'll touch on a few of thoughts that come to my mind as i've gone through the book and reread some of the things i've read before. bad history goes back results. the act has succeeded in replacing financial crisis of the regulatory crisis. the government accountability o
