A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

15Nov/09Off

Milton Friedman on Health Care

If you consider yourself anything other than Left-of-Center liberal, the name "Milton Friedman" should be familiar and his writings ought to be near and dear to your free market-loving heart.  He passed away 3 years ago today.  We don't honor him because of the degrees he earned or the popularity he garnered, but because of what he believed and how eloquently and passionately he disseminated and defended it.

Enjoy Milton's take on socialized medicine, and keep in mind he said these things 31 years ago.  My, how things don't change on the Left.

At this point in your life, if you have not yet read Free to Choose, do yourself (and future generations of this country) a favor and click here to buy it. It is the most important book on economics you will ever read.FTC_A

p.s. If you do read it, or have read it, and want more, I've got a laundry list of names and titles for you to enjoy.

What is “Mere Conservatism”?

The basic ideas, ideals, and values that generally define and characterize the central tenets of what today might be termed "modern conservative thought."

We believe that a proper understanding of history, economics, and theology leads to certain conclusions. Many of these are the same conclusions our Founding Fathers arrived at in constructing a "more perfect union."

All ideas and opinions are welcome; not all are correct.
