    As much as Milton Friedman makes bloody sense, his ideas are what led us to the neoliberal hellhole and eventually to fascism. His motto “greed is good” enabled excessive individualism and fawning of private property, leading to selfishness at the expense of the common good.

    Improving and maintaining the common good is as beneficial as economic self-interest. The CEOs would not be where they are had they not benefited from the labour of others and resources from nature.
