Why Government Is the Problem, Not the Solution (Milton Friedman)

Why Government Is the Problem

Milton Friedman

In this eye-opening talk, Milton Friedman challenges a fundamental assumption: that government is the solution to society's problems. Instead, he argues that government intervention is the root cause of many of our most pressing issues, from failing education and soaring healthcare costs to crime and housing crises. Drawing on his groundbreaking book, *Why Government Is the Problem*, Friedman explains how the incentives in politics lead to failure and expansion, not efficiency. He introduces the concept of a 'reverse invisible hand' that turns good intentions into bad outcomes. Discover why the same people who succeed in business fail in government, and why the only way to fix our problems is to limit government's role. This is a must-watch for anyone questioning the status quo.
