In the novella, the author Norman Maclean talks about how his family was one of few words, and in reading one was given the sense – as well as being outright told – that there were always things being left unsaid. In attending a peer-led viewing of the film A River Runs Through It, the thing I was most conscious of was the awkward and almost jarring silences and conversations between the characters. However, in watching the film of this movie, much of the subtlety is lost. This sentiment expresses the beauty and subtlety of what is really an overarching metaphor throughout the novella: the precision and honesty of fishing as an act of religion. Maclean speaks of how a fisherman tries to make a perfect world out of his trade, which is perhaps the ultimate goal of religion: perfection from imperfection. Several times throughout the book, characters can be heard uttering this phrase with the deference that they would say “going to church.” From the very beginning, the reader is told that Norman and his younger brother were taught to treat the river with respect, and were not even allowed to fish until they could properly handle a rod – out of respect for the fish. “Going fishing” is treated as a cure-all, especially for immoral behavior. The fact that Maclean’s father is a preacher lays a foundation for this religious view of the world, but it is not in this obvious fact that the view is expressed.

In Friedman's second chapter, he notes the appropriate functions of government (p. He does not so much engage the other type of socialism - welfare capitalism, except to perhaps endorse it in his last sections on the distribution of income and social welfare measures. Friedman argues against the central control which was prominent at the time, but is no longer taken seriously. It is full of rhetoric, but it is the kind of rhetoric that makes sense - the kind which characterizes government controlling the individual as a violation of human rights. That is probably because it was targeted for a mass audience, but its simplicity still seems like a negative mark for Milton Friedman.Ĭapitalism and Freedom has very few numbers, and no models, but it is well-argued nonetheless. My recollections were that Free To Choose was surprisingly lacking in nuance. The book that I had read carefully from Milton, Free To Choose, left me thinking he was not a great thinker. I was assigned this book for class, but I never gave it a thoughtful, careful read till now. After reading Capitalism and Freedom carefully, my opinion of Milton Friedman has been revised upward.
