Gdje običan čovjek ima najveće mogućnosti za uspeh? Tamo gdje je slobodan da donosi sopstvene odluke i gdje može najefikasnije da koristi svoje resurse. Pogledajte primjer u ovom klipu iz dokumantarne serije "Sloboda izbora 1990, Epizoda 5 – Stvoreni jednaki.” Izvor: Free To Choose YouTube kanal.
“It is that it’s the system that’s wrong, and that we’ve got to have a system that the right way to accomplish these objectives is to have a system which doesn’t depend on whether you happen to have the right man pushing the buttons at the right time.” Milton Friedman, in an excerpt from Free to Choose documentary series, episode 3: Anatomy of a Crisis.
“Moje mišljenje je da sistem nije dobar, i trebamo da imamo sistem u kojem pravi način za postizanje ciljeva ne zavisi od toga da li imamo pravog čovjeka za komandnom pločom koji će pritiskati dugmadi u pravo vrijeme.” - Milton Friedman.
It is immoral to say that people with low skills are not allowed to work. Milton Friedman discusses the effects of minimum wage, dispelling the myth that it is a good thing.
Nemoralno je reći da ljudima sa niskim kvalifikacijama nije dozvoljeno da rade. Milton Friedman govori o efektima minimalne plaće, razbijajući mit da je to dobra stvar.
Professor Friedman's recipe for better schools. “What do we really need in schools? We need competition. What we have is a monopoly. And like every monopoly, it is producing a low quality product at a very high cost. The way to improve that is to have competition. To make it possible for parents to have the choice of the schools their children attend.”
Profesor Friedman objašnjava kako popraviti javno školstvo. “Šta nam je zaista potrebno u školama? Treba nam konkurencija. Ono što imamo je monopol. I kao i svaki drugi monopol, on proizvodi nizak kvalitet proizvoda po veoma visokim cijenama. Način da se to poboljša je da imamo konkurenciju. Da bi bilo moguće da roditelji imaju izbor u školama koje njihova djeca mogu da pohađaju.”
“The responsibility for educating children is with their parents. And in order to make it a parental matter, you have to have a situation in which the parents a re free to choose the schools their children go to. They aren't now. Today, the schools pick the children. Children are assigned to schools by geography. By where they live. And essentially you've got a school picking its own children. As I said in 1955, take the amount of money that we are now spending on the education, divide it by the number of children, and give that amount of money to each parent.” Excerpts from an interview with Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn on May 22, 2006 in which Milton explains the dynamics involved when parents are empowered to select the best educational option for their children.
