Milton Friedman - Greed

Is it just me or is Milton high? 


Very interesting how this video is making its rounds on the internet, and how the conservative blogs are extolling the virtues of Friedman.  Seems glaringly obvious to me that what we are now experiencing is due to the flaws of "man pursuing his own individual pursuits".


To say that the State has never contributed to innovation is far from the truth. Take for instance the Internet. The early phases of the internet existed solely within the State system for nearly 30 years (research, development, military and procurement) before private companies capitalized on its potential.


What I would like to know, is of the biggest Fortune 500 companies, how many of them have thrived without the help of government subsidies.


Don't drink the Kool-aid.
