He applies this insight to a host of contemporary problems to argue that the situation could be improved by what he refers to as ¿competitive capitalism¿. Capitalism and Freedom has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since it was first published in 1962, and was described by The Times Literary Supplement as ¿one of the most influential books published since the war¿.
