milton friedman holding a pencil and rose friedman on the back. another wonderful book that has an index. i should tell you, if you came to my home in new york, i have a library. there are opposite title books. i will have a book called rising asia and right next to it will be falling asia. the two corners of my books, the alpha strategy. in the one on the other end, the omega strategy. another one is how to get -- how to win friends and influence people. but i have one right next to it, how to alienate people. it is a wonderful combination. i put the two books together. i have free to choose and right next to it, free to lose. an introduction to marxist economics philosophy. that is so true. here is the difference. look at the difference? -- look at the difference. who was the optimist and who is the pessimist? if you believe in choice, you make mistakes, but most of the time, you will make the right choice according to elton milton friedman. he is the optimist. have you ever met a marxist who was optimistic about capitalism and the world? no. mo

i love your background on milton friedman and jack welch. i worked for 30 years in corporate america. your people not even making minimum wage and telling them how to get welfare checks and snap and all of that. we have capitalism untethered. billionaires making too much money. normal people worried about egg prices should have an entire social net helping us rather than giving it to bezos and these people. i want to thank you for your timely podcasted i hope people will listen to it. guest: an important thing to remember is that once upon a time in america, shareholder capitalism existed but it was not like it is today, so for the most part large companies have had shareholders. companies used to look at them as part of the system. the workers and employees were part of the system. the communities were part of the system. i trace how in that 1950's and 1960's, a big company like general electric would issue its report and not talk about shareholders. it would talk about workers, suppliers, the good it had done in the communities in which it

always good, that's what those who came to power say for money, well money already no, that is, friedman longer working, so to speak, in this case, who told you that, well , you believe in these fables, i'm sorry, well, friedman left the supervisory board' this does not mean that his money is not working, but what kind of money is working there , they put at the head of the supposedly financial sector of this supervisory board, len blavatnik, an american oligarch who made money in russia, who is friends with friedman, who together with him started the oil business back in the 90s, they made a casting call, they put blavatnik there and money still earned in russia under the blessing of volodymyr. well, let's not be, even now, when a large-scale war has been going on for a year and a half, let's not be so naive, they left, their money is not there, they held several actions recently, they ask what kind of money it was for, they held it with ukrainian money, so let's take our time, this is the purpose of various researches, what is there and who is doing it, for example, three weeks ago the

idea begins because sort of the stylized history of school choice is that it starts with milton friedman, you an economist writing an essay about vouchers in the fifties and then history that's told often is that they're nothing sort of happens friedman keeps idea alive and then 1990 milwaukee starts the school voucher program in the country. the first modern one. that's sort of the history that you hear. but there is you know, there's other pieces of american history you kind of have to go back to. you have to look at what the founding fathers intended for education and how that developed because there wasn't agreement about how to educate the nation's children. you can look at what happened with catholics. you coming into this country. they had all this integration of of catholic and common system was forming at that time in the 1800s. but it was distinctly practiced in. and so you could also start with the catholic and that whole piece of the history and so i kind of was grappling with what makes sense a beginning and i decided in 1950 not just because of segregationists i thought wha

volodymyr talk about and i asked him a few questions about friedman's reaction and in general this whole let's see it from the video of the investigation that was made public by the ukrainian truth mykhailo the weaver let's look in ukraine, i told you, young people , i can't give it. why do you think about the position? and what is your position? you are shooting because you are going out in public and you want to go abroad, that is why you do not take sides. it is correct . i do not know you. he is such a sport . i have a certificate. i already have the truth. i want you . a ukrainian passport. i don’t want it. well, how can we lighten up and talk to the bare-faced rascals. they are like that on the street, so i will not make such comments. well, you are saying that the lawyers are what is the position of the radish, that they are talking to you, that he told you well, this is how mykhailo walked through london through the streets of london the weaver with films who, in principle, did not answer any questions to him, maintaining his usual loyal position towards putin, probably knowing t

who worked for friedman ?the company of ihor valeriyovych kolomoisky. hundreds or maybe thousands of employees used to be like that they are all collaborators. no, they are such ordinary citizens of ukraine , but here the question is different. how did it happen at some stage that there were so many russians here in the russian presence in the banking sector ? he's not going. i want to tell serhii i don't know how it is now, for example, there is such a stupid vice-speaker, oleksandr babakov , he walks around, er, this is rus energy, a company owned by him, and er , he had very, very many assets here. controlled a lot of time, i don’t know how it is now, it’s just a question in principle, uh, these people, they are public, on the contrary, answer me, uh, in yours, they sing the oden of russian monarchism, well, it’s probably some kind of thing. it ’s wrong. i would generally introduce legal restrictions for russian business in the big world, you can living without russians, as it turned out, is wonderful, and

right now i think we see its friedman, universal vouchers when the day. moriah: maybe the priests who really wanted the opportunity to have the taxpayer dollars towards religious schools. cara: virgil bloom is sort of a lesser known figure and i talked to people in the choice movement who don't know who he is, which is interesting, because he really is sort of predicted a lot of this in a way, and was arguing in a direction where now we see this supreme court take where he was making arguments in the 1950's and 1960's. and that was really interesting in the research to look back at some of the things he was writing decades and decades ago that are so relevant today. i think the religious liberty aspect of it is also having a moment. moriah: i have been writing a lot about the religious particle in oklahoma. this is a catholic diocese that wants to open a virtual charter school, which means it would be entirely funded by taxpayer dollars, and they said that they are picking and choosing which federal laws they would abide by . i'm curious to know how much

and to milton friedman, who defined the economic system that drives us. these are just some of the authors and books that we will be exploring in our 10 week series. books are meant to engage, enlighten, enrage, and energizes. that is what we are hoping to do with the series. the 10 books that we have chosen for this series represent different euros, top -- eras, topics and viewpoints. they are derived from a large list of 100 books created by the library of congress. if you like the list chosen, thank the library of congress for their 100 books that shaped america. if you don't like our editorial choices, blame c-span and share your own list with us. there are couple ways of doing that. the website for doing that is at c-span.org/books that changed america, and you can also see a complete review of the entire series there. if you are here in the audience, and you hear some books that you agree with or don't agree with, go downstairs. we have a video kiosk set up where you can record your own thoughts about books that shaped america. i mentioned three of

. >> m friedman was a nobel prnning american eco and advisor to president ronald reagan, conservativeritish prime minister margaret thatcher, among others. in 1980, friedman partwith his wife, rose, to create a 10 part television series fo called "free to choose." is one of the books that shaped americur new series starting septemb next, r about the life of mi friedman and his contributions to economics.

volodymyr was talking about and i asked him a few questions about friedman's reaction and in generalwhole situation let us see it with a video from the investigation that was made public by the ukrainian truth mykhailo tkachem let's watch and want to fight for your film, take a side, directly, directly , a ukrainian passport, i don't want, i, if you want , will talk about this topic, well, how can we shine , we will discuss naked lines, they speak on the street, then i will not speak well you are talking about lawyers, what is the position of the video, what do they say to you, so what did he tell you? well, this is how mykhailo tkach walked through london on malondena street and a sfidulum who, in principle , did not answer any of his questions, keeping his usual loyal position towards putin, knowing probably also the history of the london uh-uh london arrival of quite tragic uh-uh adventures of the russians who ran away from putin, this is about litvinenko and the violinists, well, we know very well that london is not a closed territory for the russian agents even during the war, t

it generally concerns only friedman and all russian businessmen, because there are quite a lot of assets in russian companies oblenergo, there are all kinds of people there, eh, comrades who have controlled it for many years, and here’s how it works, it means that if a person has a business in russia, in ukraine, then part of the profits eh remains in the russian federation, well, accordingly, the payment of taxes and so on, if we talk about this topic, i guess i asked the question in a different way ah hmm why are there still assets here that are controlled by the russian nazis in principle, but if we start with this , then you could watch it a little bit at a time change and about responsibility again well, in our country, how is the state free in our country, if a business pays taxes, then it means that it is not a criminal, i mean, who worked for friedman there, i once worked in the company of igor valeryovich kolomoisky. i don't consider myself to be anything, this is the case here. read in our case, if we take alpha bank, we have tens of hundreds , maybe thousands of employees, so

first of all, this is an attempt to understand friedman. unsuccessful with on the part of mykhailo tkach well, but well, it failed because it did not work well simply because figman chose such a line of behavior well, and secondly , such didactics immediately began from the side , meaning from the side of the latin language. of liberal russians now dmytro we already have p dmytro please how to react to this first of all don't react at all spit and grind well we are discussing it because it needs to be discussed because it is well latynina is a person who is included in a single marathon a person who who certain people here in ukraine it is very popularized and that is why it is on youtube , at least in our segment. that is why we need to react to it. well, please don't react, well , in general, the main genre of ukrainian youtube is rustic very aptly. define as researchers of feces. that is, we all sit and skim what said such russian and bad russian, we will talk and mock solovyov , then we discuss latin, then we discuss fritman, instead of
