Milton Friedman
Liberalism
"I never characterize myself as a conservative economist. As I understand the English language, conservative means conserving, keeping things as they are. I don't want to keep things as they are. The true conservatives today are the people who are in favor of ever bigger government. The people who call themselves liberals today -- the New Dealers -- they are the true conservatives, because they want to keep going on the same path we're going on. I would like to dismantle that. I call myself a liberal in the true sense of liberal, in the sense in which it means of and pertaining to freedom."
- Milton Friedman, The Open Mind, WRCA, Decembre 7th 1975
« La liberté humaine et politique n'a jamais existé et ne peut pas exister sans une large dose de liberté économique. »

Politics
« L'une des plus grandes erreurs possibles et de juger une politique ou des programmes sur leurs intentions et non sur leurs résultats. »
- Milton Friedman, The Open Mind, WRCA, 7 décembre 1975
