Book Title: Free to Choose
Author: Milton Friedman
Selection Statement:
This book introduced me to economic thinking. It illuminates the various roles of prices, the importance of markets, and the fundamental importance of freedom in generating prosperity. This left a deep and lasting impression on me and showed me how economic insights can ultimately affect humanity in substantial ways. It also steered me toward a Ph.D. in economics and led me to contact Ed Lazear, who became my Ph.D. adviser and had a tremendous influence on me.
