"Free to Choose: A Personal Statement"

"Free to Choose: A Personal Statement" is a collection of essays by economist Milton Friedman that advocates for individual freedom in economic decisions. It argues that free markets, where people can buy and sell freely, lead to broader prosperity and personal opportunity. Friedman emphasizes the importance of minimal government interference, believing that individuals and businesses making their own choices generally produce better outcomes than government controls. The book underscores the value of economic liberty as essential to personal freedom and societal progress, and it encourages trusting individuals to make decisions that benefit both themselves and the wider community.
