Friedman, due to his liberal outlook, is quite critical of government power. He argues, chapter after chapter that major social and economic problems are caused by excessive government intervention. From social security to the draft, from minimum wage laws to occupational licensure, Friedman rejects state intervention into the economy. Rather, Friedman extols the virtues of markets and freedom and defends his conception of the dignity of the individual and his right to liberty.
