Video Transcript
Hello, I'm Robert McKenzie, who joined me here in this final library on the campus of the University of Chicago.
We're about to see the first of ten films by Milton Friedman, an economist of international repute,
winner of the Nobel Prize, one of the most controversial and stimulating Americans of our time.
In the weeks that lie ahead as Friedman's first major television series unfolds,
the famous and influential men and women who will occupy those seats
are going to a lot to say about Friedman's view of the society in which we live today
and his solutions for the ills of our time.
For that's what the series is about.
Milton Friedman's view of the way we live now and where we're headed.
Now, like some people here, you may be appalled by his ideas,
like others extremely enthusiastic about them.
Whichever way it goes, I think it'll be fascinated by what Milton Friedman has to say.
The George is warning around the New York metropolitan area.
The Kinerse Indians who lived here traded the 22 square miles of Saguim and Hattin Island to the Dutch for $24 worth of cloth and trinkets.
The newcomers found it a city, new Amsterdam at the edge of an empty continent.
In the years that followed, it proved a magnet for millions of people from across the Atlantic.
People who were driven by fear and poverty, who were attracted by the promise of freedom and plenty.
They found out over the continent and built a new nation, with their sweat, their enterprise, and their vision of a better future.
For the first time in their lives, many were truly free to pursue their own objectives.
That freedom released the human energies which created the United States.
For the immigrants who were welcomed by this statue, America was truly a land of opportunity.
They poured ashore in their best clothes, eager and expected, carrying what little they
own.
They were poor, but they all had a great deal of hope.
Once they arrived, they found as my parents did not in easy life, but a very hard life.
But for many, there were friends and relatives to help them get started.
To help them make a home, get a job, settle down in a new country.
There were many rewards for hard work, enterprise and ability.
Life was hard, but opportunity was real.
There were few government programs turned to and nobody expected them.
But also, there were few rules and regulations.
There were no licenses, no permits, no red tape to restrict them.
They found, in fact, a free market and most of them thrived on it.
Many people still come to the United States driven by the same pressures and attracted by the same promise.
You can find them in places like this.
It's Chinatown in New York, one of the centers of the Garmin industry.
A place where hundreds of thousands of newcomers have had their first taste of life in the new country.
The people who live and work here are like the early settlers.
They want to better their lot and they're prepared to work hard to do so.
Although I haven't often been in factories like this, it's all very familiar to me.
because this is exactly the same kind of a factory that my mother worked in when she came to this country for the first time
at the age of 14 almost 90 years ago and if there had not been factories like this here then
at which she could have started to work and earned a little money she wouldn't have been able to come
and if I existed at all I'd be a Russian or a Hungarian today instead of American
Of course she didn't stay here a long time. She stayed here while she learned the language,
while she developed some feeling for the country, and gradually she was able to make a better life
for herself. Similarly, the people who are here now, they are like my mother, mostly immigrants from
a distant country. They came here because they liked to hear better and had more opportunities.
A place like this gives them a chance to get started. They're not going to stay here very long or
forever. On the contrary, they and their children will make a better life for
