Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman
Morton's review:
As befitting a Nobel laureate in economics and a former president of the American Economic Association, Dr. Friedman wrote many fine scholarly works. But you don't need a doctorate in economics to read Capitalism and Freedom. This is a jargon-free explanation of the principles of economic freedom, which Friedman demonstrates is a necessary condition for political freedom. Get and read this razor-sharp book.
