In the video below, Milton Friedman gets it wrong: “greed is not a good idea to run with.” But he’s right that all economic systems involve greed. The contrast is that in State-run economies like China and the former USSR, that greed involves those in power taking what they would by force.

What makes the free market remarkable is that it allows us to provide for our family while doing good for our neighbors. Joseph Sunde has more in the linked article above.
