Milton Friedman
  • Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.

  • Most of the energy of political work is devoted to correcting the effects of mismanagement of government.

  • The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up, enabling people.

  • The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes.

  • The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.
