Freedman has been using a word, without so much as even a summarised definition, throughout the elleven page introduction: "Freedom".
What does Friedman define as Freedom? So far, he seems reluctant to say.
These elleven pages are also ripe with blatant lies; and example of which being: "free trade abroad was the means to link the nations of the world together peacefully and democratically"
A bad start.

The first chapter is honestly terrible.
It can be summarised as this:
Freedman talks about the free market, he mentions only the (on the surface) good effects of it.
He then talks about socialism, which in his mind is when the state owns everything. He then gives examples of bad things the government would "inevitably" do, without explaining why it would do so, and then says that the free market would do better.
