More From Milton Friedman

We are coming to see that there should be no stifling of labor by capital, or of capital by labor; and also that there should be no stifling of labor by labor, or of capital by capital.
Should Stifling Labor
I will never forget that the only reason i'm standing here today is because somebody, somewhere stood up for me when it was risky. stood up when it was hard. stood up when it wasn't popular. and because that somebody stood up, a few more stood up. and then a few thousand stood up. and then a few million stood up. and standing up, with courage and clear purpose, they somehow managed to change the world.
Courage Purpose World
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
Work Independent Labor Day
Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.
Race Maintenance Alive
Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.
Used Results Force
Most of marx's predictions have failed to materialize, and his labor theory of value and other ideas have been proven wrong. marx failed to recognize the incentive system built into the capitalist model - consumer choice and the profit motive of the entrepreneur. the irony is that capitalism, not socialism or marxism, that has liberated the worker from the chains of poverty, monopoly, war, and oppression, and has better achieved marx's vision of a millennium of hope, peace, abundance, leisure, and aesthetic expression for the 'full' human being.
