Show Notes

How did they change a country where most property was state-owned into something that was based on private property? Each country handled it differently and the results are not surprising. Hear the difficulties and the immediate effects of these swift policy changes from Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, Tom Hazlett, and Robert Ebel in the latest episode of the Free To Choose Media Podcast.
