Milton Friedman on "Greed"

An excerpt from an interview with Phil Donahue in 1979.


If only this was "required viewing" in our educational systems today.

The Liberal view of "greed".

The pursuit of self-interest is “greed” and its rewards must be confiscated for distribution to those who have neither the desire nor the ability to achieve their desires, thus enabling those who support such action to view themselves as virtuous.  If their policies and actions fail to achieve the intended ends, it is irrelevant.  It is only their intent that matters.
