Inflation results when the amount of money printed or coined increases faster than the creation of new goods and services. Money is a "token" of the wealth of a nation. If more tokens are created than new wealth, it takes more tokens to buy the same goods. Friedman explains why politicians like inflation, and why wage and price controls are not solutions to the problem. Friedman visits Japan, U.S. and Britain.

Democracies have only recently been considered desirable. Historically, it was feared that democracies always self destruct when citizens, forgetting that you cannot remove want and misery through legislation, insist on government actions that physically and morally bankrupt their nation. Friedman explains why the United States has so far avoided this outcome and how we can continue to do so.

Dr. Friedman states, "There is not a single person in the world who can make this pencil." He explains that the creation of even a simple object - like the "lead" pencil - requires the knowledge of many people, lumberjacks, steel manufacturers, miners, etc. These people may not speak the same language, they may not know or like one another, yet the market enables them to combine knowledge and effort to produce wealth.

En 2007, Naomi Klein publiait La Stratégie du choc.Un traumatisme collectif, une guerre, un coup d'état, une catastrophe naturelle, une attaque terroriste plongent chaque individu dans un état de choc. Après le choc, nous redevenons des enfants, désormais plus enclins à suivre les leaders qui prétendent nous protéger. S'il est une personne à avoir compris très tôt ce phénomène, c'est Milton Friedman, Prix Nobel d'économie en 1976.Friedman, soutenant l'ultralibéralisme, conseilla aux hommes politiques d'imposer immédiatement après une crise des réformes économiques douloureuses avant que les gens n'aient eu le temps de se ressaisir. Il qualifiait cette méthode de traitement de choc.Naomi Klein la qualifie de "stratégie du choc".En utilisant de nombreuses images d'archives, Michael Winterbottom et Mat Whitecross démontrent la puissance du texte de Naomi Klein et la nécessité de résister.

The welfare state arises from the attempt to do good with other people's money. Such attempts always fail because: Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as his own. Welfare is supply driven. Those spending the money use force to collect it and to insure those receiving it use it for "right" purposes. Good intentions are corrupted by bad means. Friedman visits U.S. and Britain.

The Declaration of Independence says, "all men are created equal." Friedman explains that this did not mean all persons should or will have equal talents or income. Equal opportunity to better one's self, and the right to personally benefit from the gains realized, are consistent with freedom. Equality of results requires force. Taking from some to give to others destroys freedom and removes the incentive for creating new wealth. Friedman visits India, U.S. and Britain.

The Swap is the third chapter of the PolEc Trilogy, comprising Wandering Marxwards (1998) and The Three Failures (2006). It features the same character as in the previous episodes, but now reduced to a lost, exhausted soul roaming Shanghai's cityscape from the remotest periphery to the financial district. Another narrative, spoken this one, takes us to September 2008, as gigantic bailouts put the financial system on life support instead of letting it collapse, thus seizing our reality and replacing it with a fiction tailored for the situation. These two streams end up meeting on a Shanghai dancefloor, where unresolved contradictions can finally be performed.
