Milton Friedman on Social organization

“The basic problem of social organization is how to co-ordinate the economic activities of large numbers of people.”

“The liberal conceives of men as imperfect beings. He regards the problem of social organization to be as much a negative problem of preventing "bad" people from doing harm as of enabling "good" people to do good; and, of course, "bad" and "good"people may be the same people, depending on who is judging them.”
