welcome again to the university of chicago campus. we're about to see part three, milton friedman's television series, free to choose. what has emerged so far that dr. friedman believes passionately that when people pursue their own economic self-interest, that in the long run everyone is better off,

and we now join our guests here at the university of chicago. mr. friedman is right that all over the world, people are beginning to stir and are striving for a measure of equality, for a measure of justice. but i think he demeans and trivializes those struggles when he tells us all that we can't all have. malina dietrich's legs. moreover, he confuses us by using the term freedom. i think what mr. friedman means by the term freedom is economic license and econo mic license. the economic license of those who control property and those who control capital has in fact been a threat not only to equality, but to threat to the freedom of peoples all over the world and not only in europe and in the united states, but in africa, in asia, and in latin america. let me get two other reactions now to that idea that this new ideal of equality, equality and this world's goods represents a very serious threat to freedom fighter drive. well, first, as the only british person on this panel, perhaps it would allow me to say in passing that i think that many of the thi

was it the ideas about human theory from the university of chicago? was it was it something else? was it his background? what do you think explains that. you know, i think part of it is that friedman lived a life in ideas in that almost all of his closest relationships were people who shared his interest in and often shared his particular more free market economic orientation. what he saw first about a person really was their ideas rather say their personality or their sense of or also their. it kind of washed out for him. now, of course, he knew these women were women, but he didn't automatically, as many of his seemed to that. therefore they had nothing interesting to contribute to economics. so that's one piece of it. the other piece of it is that, you know, he's married to a fellow economist, rose director, who has a lot of friends who are also women economists. so he first gets involved in research because one of them is writing a paper rose and they're corresponding back and forth. and he kind of grabs the letter and says, well, here's what i think and it launches them on you

the discussion is already underway here at the university of chicago. so let's join it. as i looked at the film, i had a growing sense of anger. anger that that position failed to recognize that the system that was being attacked was necessary in our capitalistic free enterprise system, that by its own failure produces poverty and therefore requires governmental intervention in the interests of those people caught in the traps of poverty. so as i sat and looked at the film and as i hear dr. friedman's statement, i was aroused and to the point, as i said, of of anger, because only half the story is told, we are really blaming, again, a victim, this time a system, the welfare system for the failure of other systems to operate in the interest of people. let's get other reactions out of that statement. trying to do good with other people's money simply has not worked. the welfare system is rotting away. the very fabric of society in terms of my reaction, was just the opposite. my anger was that what had been created in a city where i grew up and the very different conditions

and now we join the invited guests at the university of chicago as discuss friedman's interpretation of those events and their implications for today. the 1929 crash. the succeeding calamities were not the first of their kind. capitalism has been subject to severe depressions since the beginning of the industrial revolution. this was the first time, however, government tried to intervene seriously, did it very badly. the lesson i would draw is a very simple one. government unavoidable the expectations of the public are proper. government ought to do better. oddly enough, government did do better until very very recently. until i would say, october 1973. even government did reasonably well in fulfilling the expectations of the public. i am an unrepentant proponent of government intelligent government intervention, but i would describe much of the intervention which has followed the great 1929 crash as quite intelligent. let's take a further look at this argument. just as during the depression, far from promoting, the government has itself and the major single source of instability. i d

welcome again to the university of chicago campus. we're about to see part three, milton friedman's television series, free to choose. what has emerged so far that dr. friedman believes passionately that when people pursue their own economic self-interest, that in the long run everyone is better off, that's why also he's so strongly opposed to government controls. indeed, he believes america is hardly a free country because of the extent of government intervention, the economic lives of the people. now, in this program, he traces how all this developed from the crash of 1929, the depression of the 1930s, and the legacy they both left. the lands street in new york's lower east side, hardly one of the city's best known sites yet. what happened in this street nearly 50 years ago continues to affect all of us today. wall street. most of us know what happened here 50 years ago. 20 inside the stock exchange on october 29th, 1929, the market it came to be known as black thursday that the wall street crash was followed by the worst depression

there is a great book called the moral life of schools by some people at the university of chicago, where they four weeks in a classroom. they talked about little choices that people make the teachers make that enabled them to get to trust in the attention of their students and. all these systems mean. so the conclusion this book is, is that we're suffering from system failure all the craziness that's going on domestically or to me are symptoms of failure where people people don't feel free to do what i think is right. we can't run the schools. we can't run the government. and we need to have a national over over that. and what's needed to to to fix it because life is too complicated to extrude it through the system, through the eye of a legal needle for every daily. okay. do have i have other questions to ask you but anyone in the room have questions they'd like to pose. and we have someone with a microphone. so if you just wait. yes yes, yes. if you pass first to the man in the glasses and then to this gentleman. yes professor abner green, out your gratitude for him. i've known philip f

gyude moore here in washington, a lecture university of chicago's harris school for public policy andsenior official in library under president ellen johnson sirleaf. welcome to all of you. why don't we get right into the question, going to focus in on the debt issue for the moment. i would like to start with veda please. can you talk to us a bit about china's approach to development aid in lower and middle income countries, how it might differ from the practices of traditional western donors, multilateral institutions and what you see are some of the key principles guiding china's policy? >> first off, very quickly, it's wonderful to be here and thank you so muc' for having me. imacs are going to use the shoulder because it's easy to say at this point. back. i think there are a bunch of factors that chinese lending to the global south especially countries in africa region that a study closely, one of them would be a number and the sheer types of lenders they are. i think would be china-africa -- they came out of the study of years ago that said in early 2000 there were three chinese

john mearsheimer is a political science professor at the university of chicago. einrichs is senior fellow and director of the keystone defense initiative at the hudson institute, a washington think tank. thanks so much, all of you. welcome back to the "newshour." michael, let me start with you. as we just said, ukraine has lost a city, they're increasingly outgunned, outmanned. how bad is it? michael: look, ukraine starts 2024 in a very difficult position. that was very clear. ukraine has a deficit in terms of artillery ammunition. part of that is because it depends on western support for munitions and it has a deficit of manpower. it needs to replenish the force, particularly the infantry component of the force. now, while it's true that russia is materially advantaged in this war, that much is clear, if you look at manpower, particularly if we look at artillery, to a lesser extent equipment, that advantage at this stage is not decisive either. the battle which was a five-month grinding fight, tells us about the challenges both will face. ukraine was forced to re

that i will try to end it with the question. 1969i had -- i was a graduate student at the university of chicago and i had the occasion to read every catalog going back to the founding in 1892. what struck me was the malleability of the curriculum and not just the courses, but the departments in which things were offered, that it shifted and changed over times in a wide variety of ways. what prompted this was the vote on women at the university, the almost total exclusion from the intellectual offerings of the university. i will skip all the details. what you are talking about today is just a point in time, it is a thing that fluctuates considerably, depending on eight wide variety of pressures, some of which come from students, some from world events, some from the government. trying to identify what might have been crucial at that particular time, have any of you consider the fact that this is simply a point in time in what is essentially a mississippi river? ben: yes and i appreciate the question. i think the point you are making, which is that the concept of the curriculum, even the organiza

thank hello, i'm robert mackenzie and welcome again to the university of chicago. it was here in 1976 that milton friedman, professor of economics,

interest in cheap labor through milton friedman through the free trade economics folks at the university of chicago way back in the seventies, that it took a while for the idea that companies should only be beholden to shareholders. but once that took flight once enough. in power decided like we should care more about the stock market than about the health of workers. that's when basically my life started. so i mean and i'm talking about 1980, you know, the chips start falling or in the late seventies, you know, the things that the z guys changed it's been in credibly destructive we know it's been incredibly destructive all i'm saying is pause stop we tried that we see the rupert cautions let's get back to where we were but let's do a better let's make sure we're clear, including all workers in this. and because as as know union is a little sketchy when it comes to people of color and women. so i think now in this moment now that we've been through the pandemic, now that we know the stakes of, offshoring, everything, i think this is a clarion call to rediscover what we used to have, that a working

guess this is casey mulligan, economists, professor at the university of chicago, and he was chief economist under the trump administration, with the white house council of economic advisers. welcome, casey! beautiful training floor, isn't it? >> i love, this. rick >> today, we have this whopper, whopper of unemployment report. 353,000, up six tenths an average hourly earnings, look at year over year, well up over 4%, but i noticed the work we took, a, dropped 34.1. and outside of covid, that's the smallest work week in 14 years, and the data series started at 2006. thoughts? >> anytime you have an outlier, that subject to revision. expect them to revise that, then, it also has a effect on the weight because of course, they're taking their earnings to vitamin the working to get an hourly wage. so, that's an outlier on the upside that you could see those both provides than normal. >> that makes perfect sense. it's just a numerator and denominator by changing the work week down with the same pay. it makes the paint look greater than it is. now, the next topic, we've had productivity out this w

welcome again to the university of chicago where a distinguished group of guests met together to watch a film and to discuss a film by milton friedman in series free to choose. in it, he examines the consumer movement, the whole development of high powered government agencies. in recent recent decades in this country, which have set out to protect the interest of the consumer. now, does this consumerism really work. or are there better ways of protecting the interest of the consumer? that's the question, milton friedman asks in this film. the 1960s corvair condemned ralph nader as unsafe at any speed speed. since nader's attack, it's being increasingly that we need government in the marketplace today. there are agencies all over washington where bureaucrats decide what's good for us. agencies to control the prices we pay, the quality goods we can buy, the choice of products available. it's costing us more than $5 billion a year. since the attack. the corvair. government has been more and more money in the name of protecting the consumer consumer. this is hardly what the third president
