In this 25-page commentary, "Created Equal", legendary economist and Hoover fellow Milton Friedman answers these and other questions in great depth. You'll learn what Thomas Jefferson meant when he wrote the words "created equal" in the Declaration of Independence and how the meaning has changed through American history. You'll see how Friedman brilliantly illustrates differences between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. With many today striving to increase government power in the name of a concept of "equality", Friedman's words still ring true for those who believe that a society that puts freedom first will end up with both greater freedom and greater equality.
