In 1980, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman created a groundbreaking PBS series examining free market principles versus government intervention—and remarkably, we're still debating the same issues today.

Each episode tackles timeless questions: inflation, regulation, education, welfare, equality. Friedman presents his free market solutions while engaging in substantive debates with liberal economists and policymakers who offer sharp counterarguments and alternative views. A fascinating time capsule that reveals how little has changed in our policy debates.

The civil, intelligent discourse stands in stark contrast to today's polarized politics, demonstrating what policy debate looked like when scholars could disagree without demonizing each other.
