Free to Choose 1990
Volume 2 - The Tyranny of Control
Topic: The Case for Free Trade
ABSTRACT
"When anyone complains about unfair competition, consumers beware." Friedman tells us about the writings of Adam Smith who, 200 years ago, warned that businesses always try to sell for the highest price and will try to control the market to do so. But without government help businesses cannot force people to buy their goods. Consumers will always get the lowest possible prices when competition is free and robust. Introduced by George Schultz. Discussion with Michael Walker, Fraser Institute and Steve Cohen, UC Berkeley.

SERIES DESCRIPTION
In 1990, Free to Choose was updated to five volumes. Each volume features a documentary by Milton Friedman followed by an all-new discussion and debate. Volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 include modified documentaries originally produced for the 1980 version of the series. Volume 3, "The Failure of Socialism" was later renamed "Freedom and Prosperity". Volume 4, "What's Wrong With Our Schools" was later renamed "The Failure of Socialism".
The 1990 series features introductions by prominant figures such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Schultz, Ronald Reagan, and Steve Allen. If nothing else, after viewing these films at least you'll know what Arnold is talking about when he says, "Our state will prosper again when we commit ourselves in California to "Free to Choose" economics."Free to Choose 1990
