«Libertad de elegir» is the economics essay by Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman, published in 2004 by RBA in hardcover (441 pages, in Spanish).
The authors defend freedom of choice as the basis of a market economy and argue that government intervention should be limited. They analyze how competitive capitalism allows cooperation without coercion and reduces the extent of power one individual exercises over another, with a firm commitment to the market as a mechanism of social coordination.
It belongs to the RBA collection Biblioteca de los Grandes Pensadores. The work originally appeared in 1980.
Recommended for readers interested in economics, politics and liberal thought.
Milton Friedman was an American economist and statistician who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy. With George Stigler, Friedman was among the intellectual leaders of the Chicago school of economics, a neoclassical school of economic thought associated with the faculty at the University of Chicago that rejected Keynesianism in favor of monetarism before shifting their focus to new classical macroeconomics in the mid-1970s. Several students, young professors and academics who were recruited or mentored by Friedman at Chicago went on to become leading economists, including Nobel laureates Gary Becker (1992), Robert Fogel (1993), and Robert Lucas Jr. (1995).
