Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1
What is the balance wheel theory of intervention? What is Friedman's view on it?
Essay Topic 2
Chapter 7 is arguably Friedman's most controversial chapter because of his views of government intervention in discrimination. Friedman, the free market capitalist, believes that government should not have laws based on race and people should be free to shop, purchase, and hire wherever they choose. Analyze Friedman's argument and examine the historical examples he gives to support his opinion.
Essay Topic 3
Friedman published "Capitalism and Freedom" in 1962. It is one of Friedman's attempts to spread free-market ideas to the public at large. The book advocates a number of free-market proposals, many of which, such as floating exchange rates and flat taxes, are implemented across the world today and seem commonplace. However, many of his more radical ideas remain controversial, such as school vouchers, or are totally ignored, like ending occupational licensure. In an essay, examine the historical context of Friedman's work and analyze the major movements of the time that may have influenced his views.
