Bravo Tango imagine rather why our countries education system has sunk to the lowest common denominator since the 60s. I ask why we sacrificed our children and future for what? Political correctness/expediency?
@@larrywuzhere3866 We have sacrificed our children and future to satisfy our inability to make hard decisions. Politicians can't make hard choices, so they must either simplify it or choose inaction. The institutions are forced to sit and allow their components to rot and bloat.
Milton Friedman never fails to amaze; he was a giant standing heads and shoulders above the intelligentsia. He was, for all practical purposes, intellectually indisputable. He was logical, reasonable, data-driven, research-oriented, and historically prescient, all the while delivering the aforementioned with a pleasant smile on his face.
Dr. Friedman has a point. Voucher schooling system is very effective. Not only does it improve the variety of quality schools but forces public schools to improve in order to compete. It also makes a lot of low income parents work their assess off to improve their incomes. Because, then they can send their kid to the best schools. Lots of private community schools are established to meet the demand thus created jobs for locals. It isn't perfect, but the net benefit is a general improvement of schooling for middle and low income groups.
40+ years later, it's even more accurate. I live in France, a near-marxist society. The school is mostly in public hands, and it does s... Public sector has grown so much, employs so many people, that it has become absolutely impossible to change it. Still free societies should be very vigilant so to avoid that no-return point.
He seems to make an assumption that parents care. Yet the parents in the neighborhoods that he cites as bad examples probably don't care, as long as they can live in public housing and get Medicaid and food stamps (or whatever food stamps are called now). They apparently can't keep their pants on and spend on TVs, drugs, and who knows what else. When I was working as a volunteer in a local charity, I saw that these chronic dependents were victims of their own bad choices and had bigger TVs than I'm willing to pay for, which I buy from my earned money, as they do not. I began as a sympathetic go-gooder, but now I'm disillusioned with these people. Nothing we do will fix them. Like the chronically homeless, they just end up back where they started because they don't change their behavior.
Truer words were never spoken. The reason the schools are bad are because the kids are bad, and the kids are bad because the parents are bad. A school can't fix bad parents, but schools should have the power to kick bad kids out, like private schools do.
Paraphrased, "A young man who is not a liberal has no heart; an old man who is not a conservative has no brains"...supposedly an 1870's french statesman's observation later made by Bismarck & Churchill.
I guess that Bell Curve study was accurate, as we've just witnessed one of the greatest pro-black and pro poor black speeches of all time, then we saw a black dude stand up and pretty much tell Mr. Milton to go take a hike. THAT MAN DESERVES WHATEVER LIFE THREW AT HIM.
You’re a Statist if you advocate Statism. Statists believe that… 1. Bad means are often needed to achieve good ends (the ends justify the means) 2. The State should initiate force to achieve social goals (aggression/violence is acceptable, i.e. they are immoral, typically this describes politicians, especially commie/socialists and particularly DemonKraits but not limited to them) 3. People who work for The State can morally do things that would be criminal for others to do (true for many bureaucrats but not all) reference: Zero Aggression Project by Perry Willis and Jim Babka Thomas Sowell said: “The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best.”
Forgot radio host Barry Farber also ran for city mayor. Ironic a conservative mayoral candidate would challenge a Milton Friedman or think he had a chance in liberal democrat NYC. At least he was graceful & didn't try to highjack the talk by angry grandstanding & resentful showboating for attention.
Who is that disgusting fella at about the 46:31mark? OTOH, his attack on trade unions is valid and his denunciation of government/politicians for imposing debt slavery is equally valid. His behavior is shameful.

I’ve been on a binge of Mr. Friedman’s lectures recently. His ideas will stand true through the test of time.
Good to see they had people asking stupid questions back in the day. I was worried it was a modern phenomenon.
Milton Friedman was a genius. His ideas still ring true today.
Imagine what our country could have been if we had followed this path decades ago.

I enjoyed the last question very much. It made me forget the frustrating previous ones.
It's a shame Milton Friedman had to waste such a fine talk on such a loathsome audience.

Challenge Dr. Friedman to a debate..... gotta love the response "effecive use of my time" As one said "Milton was born smart"
Steve Jobs in an interview on education said exactly the same, even mentioning the voucher idea...
The first questioner was a very angry person. He would have been no match for Dr. Friedman in a real debate.
Milton Friedman dealt with the first question beautifully. "Labour part" communist took exception to common sense from the free market champion.
Q&A: Liberals were still bad, but at least they were civil enough to debate o;
EXTREMELY INCISIVE! MILTON IS A LEGEND!

@Freetochoose what year was Milton speaking here? Wondering how much we've changed in public education today.

See how much it costs to mail your Christmas cards by UPS or FedEx.

Anyone know what year this was recorded in?
