The Teachings of Milton Friedman

The Teachings of Milton Friedman, A New Book by Tom Monson, is on its way!

Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and the Price of Freedom

What happens when government promises more than it can deliver? And who ultimately pays the price?

Milton Friedman was one of the most influential economists of the twentieth century. He believed that economic freedom and individual liberty were closely connected—and that the true cost of government policies often extends far beyond what politicians promise.

In The Teachings of Milton Friedman, author Tom Monson brings Friedman’s ideas into today’s world.

From the rise of communism in Russia and China to the economic policies of modern France, California, and New York, this book explores the promises, consequences, and competing ideas that have shaped nations.

What You’ll Discover in Teachings of Milton Friedman

• Capitalism vs. Socialism: What these economic systems actually mean—and how they differ from communism and democratic socialism.
• The Rise of Communism: How revolutionary movements gained power in Russia, China, Cuba, and other countries.
• The Cost of Government: The relationship between taxation, spending, regulation, inflation, and economic opportunity.
• Lessons from Europe: What France and other European nations reveal about social welfare, taxation, and economic growth.
• America Today: How decisions about housing, education, business, and government spending affect our everyday lives.
• The Friedman Alternative: Why incentives, competition, individual choice, and economic freedom matter.

A Lesson That Began in 1969

In a college economics classroom, Professor James G. Harris taught me something I’ve never forgotten:

“If you want the truth, check the official story yourself.”

More than half a century later, that lesson is the inspiration behind this book.

My purpose isn’t to tell you what to think.

It’s to encourage you to think for yourself.

To ask questions. To examine the evidence. To understand the incentives behind political promises—and to look beyond the headlines.

I have children, grandchildren, and generations of nieces and nephews who will inherit the America we leave behind.

I want them to inherit a country where opportunity, independent thought, and individual freedom continue to flourish.

That’s why I’m writing this book.
