Milton Friedman o edukacijskim vaučerima

“Odgovornost za edukaciju djece je na njihovim roditeljima. A da bi se to pitanje učinilo roditeljskim, morate da imate situaciju u kojoj su roditelji slobodni da biraju škole u koje će njihova djeca da idu. To danas nije slučaj. Danas, škole biraju djecu. Djeca se dodjeljuju školama na osnovu geografije. Po tome gdje oni žive. I u suštini vi imate situaciju da škole biraju djecu. Kao što sam rekao 1955., uzmite iznos novca koji mi sada trošimo na obrazovanje, razdijelite ga na broj djece, i dajte taj novčani iznos svakom roditelju.” Isječak iz intervjua sa Hillsdale College predsednikom Larri Arnn, 22. maja 2006. godine u kojem Milton Friedman objašnjava dinamiku situacije kada roditelji imaju moć da izaberu najbolju obrazovnu opciju za svoju djecu.

Failure of Yugoslavia's Worker Self-management: Kardelj vs. Friedman

A select look into some of the flaws of Yugoslavia's worker self-management enterprises and their failed privatization

There exist few other topics that are still subject of such hard felt emotions and bitterness towards politicians in the countries of the former Yugoslavia as the fact that there are still thousands of factories rotting throughout the region and are being sold off in secret auctions for no more than the mere value of the land they are sitting on. Literally nobody is willing to accept the reality that all that supposed wealth which generations of people built during the previous regime has in the past two decades been meeting this kind of inglorious end. “We already have so many factories, if politicians would only open them for business, we'd all be employed,” people would often say.

Milton Friedman on Intellectuals and Businessmen as the Biggest Enemies of Free Enterprise

How can we protect free enterprise? Will the intellectuals help us? How about the businessmen?  There is a dramatic difference between saying you are pro-business and saying you are pro-free enterprise or pro-capitalism. Do you want lots of competition for yourself or do you want special treatment while everyone else faces competition? Milton Friedman explains the difference.

Milton Friedman o intelektualcima i biznismenima kao najvećim neprijateljima slobodnog preduzetništva

Kako možemo da zaštitimo slobodno preduzetništvo? Da li će nam u tome pomoći intelektualci? A preduzetnici? Postoji dramatična razlika između toga kada kažemo da smo pro-biznis i da smo za slobodno preduzetništvo - odnosno kapitalizam. Da li želimo puno konkurencije za sebe, ili želimo poseban tretman dok se svi ostali suočavaju sa konkurencijom?  Milton Friedman objašnjava razlike.

Four Ways to Spend Money

Attached graphic is a modified illustration from Milton Friedman's famous book Free to Choose, in which the author explains the four ways of spending money. Depending on whether the spender spends one's own or someone else's money, and whether this individual spends it on oneself or on someone else, it all greatly affects his or her criteria in terms of savings and the value of that on which the money is being spent. Most careless and thus the most inefficient way of spending occurs when other people's money is being spent on someone else, as the person spending it does not care about the price nor about the value of that which is being bought. Neither did the spender earn the money which he or she is to spend, nor is he or she spending it on oneself.  And that's one of the main reasons why welfare state doesn't work.

Četiri načina trošenja novca

Priloženi grafički prikaz je modifikovana ilustracija iz knjige Sloboda izbora (Free to Choose) Miltona Friedmana, u kojoj autor objašnjava četiri načina potrošnje novca.  Ovisno o tome da li potrošač troši svoj ili tuđi novac, te da li ga troši na sebe samoga ili na nekog drugog, uveliko utice na njegove kriterije u pogledu stednje i vrijednosti onoga na što troši.  Najbezbrižniji a ujedno i najneefikasniji način potrošnje je kada se troši tuđi novac na nekog drugog, jer onaj koji taj novac troši ne mari niti za cijenu niti za vrijednost onoga što kupuje.  Niti je novac koji troši on sam zaradio, niti je ono sto kupuje za njegovu vlastitu upotrebu.  I to je jedan od osnovnih razloga zašto socijalna država ne funkcioniše.
