Ever since the Great Depression, many Americans have wanted the government to be more involved in the economy. The result has been growing governmental control over matters that should be left for the free market to handle, according to Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman and his wife, Rose Friedman, a fellow economist. In Free to Choose (1980), the Friedmans discuss the dangers of the increasing power of government in America across multiple topics including inflation, education, equal opportunity, welfare, consumer protection, and labor unions. In every case, they assert that Americans should put their faith in the free market’s power to maintain the people’s sovereignty.
