Free to Choose

In 1980, after he won a Nobel Prize, Milton Friedman decided to make a television program together with his wife, who was an economist too. The main goal of the ten-part show was to bring an educational series, which had to increase the awareness of the dangers of the free market. Free to Chose became the most popular show on PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, and was rebroadcasted several times. Each show, Friedman and his wife tried to explain a successful or failure economic event in history. Afterwards, publisher Hartcourt printed ‘Free to Chose: a personal statement’… It became a bestseller.
