Milton Friedman casually dismantles the “capitalism = greed & exploitation” narrative on national television: “Tell me, is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate...

What's even more impressive is that discussions like this used to appear on television, and people watched it. Hard to imagine nowadays.

I can't imagine Milton Friedman being interviewed in today's climate. I watched his "Free to Choose" weekly show, and read his best-selling books. The legacy media would do their best to ignore him now. We need someone like him who can explain things clearly to the masses.

The PURSUIT of happiness. The key word being 'pursuit'. It implies effort, exertion, tenacity & will power. Most of those who support communism, socialism & oppose capitalism are the weak minded who ALSO want things (without earning them) & they hide behind social justice.

I never tire of this interview, it's so classic. One thing we're lacking today is civility and debate. Can you imagine this type of interaction between opposing views on today's media?

The history of capitalism is the story of how luxury goods became mass-market products. Then came envy, then leftist ideologies, simply stupid. Left wing adherents fail to realize that they generate poverty, apparently, it makes them happy

💯 Twisted propaganda in support of Oligarchy. "Free enterprise" without the Moral Covenant of Governance is dressed up tyrannical rule. Greed is NOT good -- it's an expression of money as a god.

🇺🇸MILTON FRIEDMAN: THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF CIVILIZATIONS HAVE NOT COME FROM GOVERNMENT BUREAUS “ The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.” Source: Jon Erlichman

1979 Milton Friedman mic drop on Phil Donahue’s “greed” question — still crystal clear in 2026: Donahue: “Did you ever have a moment of doubt about capitalism and whether greed’s a good idea to run on?” Friedman: “Is there some society you know that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? Of course none of us are greedy — it’s only the other fellow who’s greedy. The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests.” Then the absolute killer: “In the only cases in recorded history where the masses escaped from grinding poverty… it’s where they have had capitalism and largely free trade.” History is crystal clear: Free markets channeling self-interest lift people like nothing else. Watch the clip — pure economic gold. 🔥 #MiltonFriedman #Capitalism

Milton Friedman to Phil Donahue in 1979 on why most people stay poor: "the money goes to the ones who build and own. you were taught to resent them instead of becoming one" this is 45 minutes of the sharpest free market mind alive calmly taking apart a host who thinks the rich are villains, why he says "greed" is just a word for the other guy's self interest, and what he says the moment Donahue tries to corner him Donahue pushed: isn't capitalism just built on greed - Friedman did not blink: "and what is greed? of course none of us are greedy, it is only the other fellow who is greedy. is there some society you know that does not run on greed?" "the record of history is crystal clear. there is no system ever discovered that has done more to lift ordinary people out of poverty than free enterprise. none" the crowd wanted him to flinch. he never did. he just kept explaining, in plain words, why the system they were taught to hate is the one thing that ever pulled people like them out of poverty forty five years later Donahue is a clip and Friedman is quoted every day. he described the exact machine you were never taught to plug into, live, on daytime tv, and most people still just watch

Shapiro: It doesn’t matter how you worship. It doesn’t matter if you’re from a rural, urban, or suburban community. That sort of belief—that you love your neighbor, that you look out for your community—those are American values. Right now, we have a government in Washington that doesn’t reflect the goodness of the people in our states, the goodness of the people in my state of Pennsylvania: neighbor helping neighbor, people looking out for one another, understanding it’s not a zero-sum game—that if my kid does well, it doesn’t mean your kid can’t do well. We can lift up all of God’s children and give them all a shot. I think the reality here is we have a government that doesn’t understand that—a president who is focused on his own greed, his own corruption, lining his own pockets at the expense of others. And that is a real disconnect between the goodness I see in the people and the unfortunate chaos, cruelty, and corruption of the administration in Washington.

Prof. Jiang Xueqin: "If you look at the Epstein files it's clear that we are run by secret societies." "It's clear that the world is run by these individuals who have a lot of power." "You can call them Illuminati. And the Illuminati are composed of three major groups: You have the Jesuits who control the Vatican. You have the Sabbatean Frankists who control the modern Israel today. You have the Freemasons which control the national security apparatus of the United States. And they believe that Israel and this war in the Middle East is key to the end times in creating heaven on Earth." "So it's almost like a script that they're following even though it doesn't make any sense." Heaven on Earth doesn't come cheap. And we're the ones paying the price.

Matt Damon participated in Howard Zinn's great "The People Speak" series, and read out a great speech by Zinn about the importance of civil disobedience, which is as apt today as when he first wrote it in 1970: "I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail, and the wrong people are out of jail. That the wrong people are in power, and the wrong people are out of power. I start from the supposition that all we have to do is think about the state of the world today, and realize that things are all upside down. If you don't think, if you listen to TV, read scholarly things, you actually begin to think that things are not so bad. Or that just little things are wrong. But you have to get a little detached, and then come back and look at the world, and you are horrified. So we have to start from that supposition—that things are really topsy-turvy. And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience. As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem…. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem."

Moulton: It’s not surprising that Trump doesn’t know that—he’s not a student of history, but I think, more to the point, he doesn’t have any sons or daughters who served in the military after 9/11. They’re all about my age; they all could have done their part. If just one of them had signed up, maybe he would know that we served on the ground alongside Canadian troops, French troops, troops from the UK, the Danes, the Poles—all these NATO countries—And you know, they lost a lot of lives there

"This is where Mamdani is a model...There's this narrative that what Democrats have to do in order to win is to take squishy middle positions on everything. I actually disagree with that assessment. I think it's absolutely possible to take almost any position you want. There are kind of two things that are important though: You can't let niche issues that are not the primary concerns of a lot of voters dominate the messaging & the campaign. You need to stay the most focused on what voters actually care about." Musa al-Gharbi

I believe that what makes someone an entrepreneur is a burning desire to be free. It’s not about the greed of money, it’s the pursuit of personal freedom. I don’t think you can teach that. It only shows up in about a third of the population.

He then goes on to reveal the real reason for the current attack on social media which is that people have anonymity! The government doesn’t know who you are and they don’t like it! By the way….

This is textbook corporate greed The only way this changes is if people stop going and letting them rob you
