Milton Friedman nejznámější citáty

„S úctou k platům učitelů, hlavním problém nespočívá v tom, že jsou v průměru příliš nízké – ve skutečnosti mohou být v průměru klidně i příliš vysoké – ale že jsou příliš jednotné a svazující. Špatní učitelé jsou značně přepláceni a dobří učitelé jsou značně nedoceněni. Platové tabulky mají sklon sjednocovat a řídit se věkem, dosaženými akademickými tituly a získanými osvědčeními spíš než skutečným přínosem.“

Originál: (en) With respect to teachers' salaries, the major problem is not that they are too low on the average – they may well be too high on the average – but they are too uniform and rigid. Poor teachers are grossly overpaid and good teachers grossly underpaid. Salary schedules tend to be uniform and determined far more by seniority, degrees recieved, and teaching certificates acquired than by merit.

„Existují čtyři způsoby jak utratit peníze. Můžete utratit své vlastní peníze sám pro sebe. Pak si dáváte dobrý pozor, co děláte, a snažíte se dostat co nejvíc. Potom můžete utratit své peníze pro někoho jiného. Například někomu koupím dárek k narozeninám, přitom se příliš nestarám o obsah, ale dávám pozor na na cenu. Také mohu utrácet cizí peníze pro sebe, to si zaručeně dopřeji dobrý oběd. A konečně, mohu utrácet cizí peníze pro někoho cizího. Pak je mi jedno za kolik a co vlastně dostanu. A to dělá vláda.“

Originál: (en) There are four ways in which you can spend money. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money. Then you can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost. Then, I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch! Finally, I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. And that’s government.

„Historie nás přesvědčuje, že kapitalismus je nutnou podmínkou pro politickou svobodu. Zřetelně to není postačující podmínka.“

Originál: (en) History suggests only that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. Clearly it is not a sufficient condition.

Milton Friedman citáty a výroky

„Myslím, že vládní řešení problému je obvykle stejně špatné jako problém samotný a často jej ještě zhoršuje.“

Originál: (en) I think the government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.

„Ekonomie jako pozitivní věda je tělem zkusmo přijatých zevšeobecnění o ekonomických jevech, která mohou být používána pro předvídání následků změn okolností.“

Originál: (en) Economics as a positive science is a body of tentatively accepted generalizations about economic phenomena that can be used to predict the consequences of changes in circumstances.

Milton Friedman: Citáty anglicky

“Exchange is truly voluntary only when nearly equivalent alternatives exist. Monopoly implies the absence of alternatives and thereby inhibits effective freedom of exchange.”

Milton Friedman kniha Capitalism and Freedom

Zdroj: Capitalism and Freedom (1962), Ch. 2, The Role of Government in a Free Society, p. 28

“The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that’s why it’s so essential to preserving individual freedom.”

PBS “Interview: On freedom and free markets” https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitext/int_miltonfriedman.html Commanding Heights series (Oct. 1, 2000)

“Thank heaven that we don’t get all of the government that we are made to pay for.”

Quoted in the House of Lords, (Nov. 24, 1994), also in Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotes, Third Edition, Elizabeth Knowles, edit., Oxford University Press (2007) p. 124

“After the fall of communism, everybody in the world agreed that socialism was a failure. Everybody in the world, more or less, agreed that capitalism was a success. And every capitalist country in the world apparently deduced from that what the West needed was more socialism.”

Milton Friedman: The Rise of Socialism is Absurd and There’s No Such Thing as a Free Lunch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKhfR8WC4Eo, Grand opening speech at Cato Institutes’ headquarters in Washington, D.C. (May 1993)

“The most unresolved problem of the day is precisely the problem that concerned the founders of this nation: how to limit the scope and power of government. Tyranny, restrictions on human freedom, come primarily from governmental restrictions that we ourselves have set up.”

” “Interview with Milton Friedman” https://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications/the-region/interview-with-milton-friedman, David Levy, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis (June 1, 1992)

“Will we read next that government control of prices has created a shortage of sand in the Sahara?”

“Things That Ain’t So by Milton Friedman”, Newsweek (March 10, 1980) p. 79

“The elementary truth is that the Great Depression was produced by government mismanagement. It was not produced by the failure of private enterprise, it was produced by the failure of government to perform a function which had been assigned to it.”

" Economic Myths and Public Opinion https://miltonfriedman.hoover.org/friedman_images/Collections/2016c21/AmSpectator_01_1976.pdf” The Alternative: An American Spectator vol. 9, no. 4, (January 1976) pp. 5-9, Reprinted in Bright Promises, Dismal Performance: An Economist’s Protest, New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (1983) pp. 60-75

“I have been impressed time and again by the schizophrenic character of many businessmen. They are capable of being extremely far‐sighted and clear‐headed in matters that are internal to their businesses. They are incredibly short sighted and muddle‐headed in mat ters [sic!] that are outside their businesses but affect the possible survival of business in general. This short sightedness is strikingly exemplified in the calls from many businessmen for wage and price guidelines or controls or incomes policies. There is nothing that could do more in a brief period to destroy a market system and replace it by a centrally controlled system than effective governmental control of prices and wages. The short‐sightedness is also exemplified in speeches by business men on social responsibility. This may gain them kudos in the short run. But it helps to strengthen the already too prevalent view that the ptirsuit [sic!] of profits is wicked and im moral [sic!] and must be curbed and controlled by external forces. Once this view is adopted, the external forces that curb the market will not be the social consciences, however highly developed, of the pontificating executives; it will be the iron fist of Government bureaucrats. Here, as with price and wage controls, business men seem to me to reveal a suicidal impulse.”

“A Friedman doctrine‐- The Social Responsibility Of Business Is to Increase Its Profits” (Sept. 1970)
