«Libertad de elegir» is the economics essay by Milton and Rose Friedman, published by Orbis in 1983 in hardback (436 pages, in Spanish).
The authors argue that economic freedom is inseparable from political freedom: without a free market there is no full individual choice. With historical examples and analysis of public policies, they examine the role of the state in the economy and maintain that government intervention tends to hinder prosperity and people's capacity to decide.
Translation by Carlos Rocha Pujol of the original «Free to Choose: A Personal Statement». Part of the Biblioteca de Economía collection from Ediciones Orbis.
Work suitable for readers interested in economics, politics and liberal thought who seek an accessible exposition of the arguments in favour of the free market.
Milton Friedman was an American economist and statistician who received the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his research on consumption analysis, monetary history and theory and the complexity of stabilization policy. With George Stigler, Friedman was among the intellectual leaders of the Chicago school of economics, a neoclassical school of economic thought associated with the faculty at the University of Chicago that rejected Keynesianism in favor of monetarism before shifting their focus to new classical macroeconomics in the mid-1970s. Several students, young professors and academics who were recruited or mentored by Friedman at Chicago went on to become leading economists, including Nobel laureates Gary Becker (1992), Robert Fogel (1993), and Robert Lucas Jr. (1995).
