Claiming that Friedman's popular writings have exerted a powerful influence on the policies, ideology, and rhetoric of the Reagan administration, the author examines some 300 columns Friedman has written for \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e along with his best-selling books, \u003ci\u003eCapitalism and Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFree to Choose\u003c\/i\u003e. While conceding that President Reagan has sometimes opposed Friedman's recommendations, the author argues that by examining which Reagan proposals deviated from Friedman's laissez-faire line we can gain insight into the Presidet's real objectives as distinguished from the goals contained in his free-market rhetoric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elton Rayack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275923630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275923631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Elton Rayack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119501701375,"sku":"9780275923631","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9fc3406-7638-45b8-939e-d70053b5f469.jpg?v=1687409677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-so-free-to-choose-elton-rayack-9780275923631","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
