Milton Friedman discussed F.A. Hayek's book, The Road to Serfdom. Professor Friedman, who wrote the introduction to the 50th Anniversary edition of the book, described its effect on the ever-changing political and social climates of the twentieth century. He discussed the book's influence on the rise of socialism after World War II, the Reagan and Thatcher administrations in the 1980s, and the shift in Eastern Europe from communism to capitalism in the 1990s.
Professor Friedman is author many books, including Free to Choose and Capitalism and Freedom.

You're most welcome, glad someone else is interested. It should be an excellent program.
Milton Friedman was a giant, may he rest in peace.
Bump, show starts in about 15 minutes.
I just yesterday ran across Free to Choose in a bag of used books I'd bought a few months ago, and was thinking "what an impact this man had!" Then this afternoon, heard the announcement of his passing.
Condolences to his family.
LOL.
Hayek's Road to Serfdom is great. I plan on honoring Friedman's passing by reading Free to Choose, which I've heard lots about but haven't read. Guys like Friedman and Hayek and Mises are true heros.
Just started...

F.A. is OK, but Salma rules!
However, this is the Hayek I was hoping for:
