- T1 EP.3 — Anatomy of Crisis11 de janeiro de 198058minThe Great Depression has been popularly viewed as a failure of capitalism. The stock market crash, the failure of the Bank of the United States, loss of personal savings, were visible symbols supporting this belief.

- T1 EP.4 — From Cradle to Grave11 de janeiro de 198058minThe welfare state arises from the attempt to do good with other people's money. Such attempts always fail because: Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as his own. Welfare is supply driven. Those spending the money use force to collect it and to insure those receiving it use it for "right" purposes. Good intentions are corrupted by bad means. Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.Assista com um teste gratuito do Prime
- T1 EP.5 — Created Equal11 de janeiro de 198058minThe Declaration of Independence says, "all men are created equal." Friedman explains that this did not mean all persons should or will have equal talents or income. Equal opportunity to better one's self, and the right to personally benefit from the gains realized, are consistent with freedom. Taking from some to give to others destroys freedom and removes the incentive for creating new wealth.Assista com um teste gratuito do Prime

- T1 EP.7 — Who Protects the Consumer?11 de janeiro de 198058minVarious government agencies have been created on the claim that they will protect the consumer. These agencies restrict freedom, stifle beneficial innovation, and become agents for the industries or groups they are intended to regulate. Friedman explains how the apparent chaos of the market place, the competition of many suppliers for business, is the best protection of consumer interests.Assista com um teste gratuito do Prime

Government protects its employees and special groups of workers at the expense of other workers. Both unions and government restrict freedom.

- T1 EP.9 — How to Cure Inflation11 de janeiro de 198058minInflation results when the amount of money printed or coined increases faster than the creation of new goods and services. Money is a "token" of the wealth of a nation. If more tokens are created than new wealth, it takes more tokens to buy the same goods. Friedman explains why politicians like inflation, and why wage and price controls are not solutions to the problem.Assista com um teste gratuito do Prime
- T1 EP.10 — How to Stay Free11 de janeiro de 198058minDemocracies have only recently been considered desirable. Historically, it was feared that democracies always self destruct when citizens, forgetting that you cannot remove want and misery through legislation, insist on government actions that physically and morally bankrupt their nation. Friedman explains why the United States has so far avoided this outcome and how we can continue to do so.Assista com um teste gratuito do Prime
