## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing, common sense and highlights important facts/ideas
*by R***T on October 18, 2021*

I like this essay which highlights very important discrepancies with government. I used this book to gain some good knowledge on why the government does some of the things it does. One of the point that Milton points out is the government does bad the things it should do well, and puts its hands on things it has not hand in needing to do. Example would be the DMV, the government regulates the roads but go to the DMV and you'll wait for a license, or the government should be taking care of the national roads and does a horrible job at it. An area where the government does not need to have it hands in is telling individuals what to do with its body or the government should not be subsiding businesses that fail. Its a great essay and it does bring many more good points. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear Thinking from Uncle Milton
*by K***R on February 2, 2025*

This essay is a great example of Milton Friedman's ability to distill complex problems down to their fundamental issues, and explain them clearly and concisely so that you don't need a PhD in economics to understand them. I don't necessarily agree with him on every point, e.g. his claim that private enterprises won't pollute since it is cheaper for them not to pollute, and several of his predictions in this essay turned out to be false (he predicted the remainder of the 1990s would see sluggish growth because of President Bush's economic policies), but I find it's still helpful to read him closely and think about what he's saying.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great info
