Milton Friedman: “I’m not an anarchist. I believe that government has a very important role, but it’s a limited role. Because we’ve been trying to extend the role, we haven’t been doing what government ought to do as well as it should. We’ve been doing a terrible job on what ought to be the first function of government. The first function of government is to protect the nation against foreign enemies and to protect individual citizens against assault by their fellow citizens. We’ve been doing a terrible job on both ends.”

Thomas Sowell cites Milton Friedman in 2026 interview “Milton Friedman used to say that people call a capitalist society a profit society—it’s a profit-and-loss society. The losses are just as important as the profits, because the losses force people to stop doing things that are not working.” “Only those who are doing things that can be self-supporting can continue.”

Milton Friedman: “Everywhere and at all times, economic progress has meant far more to the poor than to the rich.” “Wherever progress has been achieved, it has relieved the poor from back-breaking toil. It has also enabled them to enjoy the comforts and conveniences that had always been available to the rich.”
