The 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. As Friedman explains, the real cause was the unseen failure of government policy and action. Yet this crisis resulting from government failure leads to decades of government expansion.

El Estado del Bienestar nace del intento de hacer el bien con el dinero de los demás. Estos esfuerzos siempre fracasan porque nadie gasta el dinero de otros con tanto cuidado como el suyo propio. Aquellos que gastan el dinero usan la fuerza para recolectarlo y para asegurarse de que quienes lo reciben lo usan para los objetivos que consideran correctos. Las buenas intenciones acaban siendo corrompidas por los equivocados medios empleados. Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.

The 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. Equality of results requires force. Taking from some to give to others destroys freedom and removes the incentive for creating new wealth. Friedman visits India, U.S. and Britain.

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. Friedman visits Japan, U.S. and Britain.

Democracies have only recently been considered desirable.

Friedman explains why the United States has so far avoided this outcome and how we can continue to do so. This program includes an interview of Dr. Friedman by Lawrence E. Spivak.
