About the Book

A classic discussion of freedom, economics, and the relation between the two,
”Every day each of us uses innumerable goods and services – to eat, to wear, to shelter us from the elements, or simply to enjoy. We take it for granted that they will be available when we want to buy them. We never stop to think how many people have played a part in one way or another in providing those goods and services. We never ask ourselves how it is that the corner grocery store – or nowadays, supermarket – has the items on its shelves that we want to buy, how it is that most of us are able to earn the money to buy those goods.”
