The Tyranny of Control
Free To Choose 1980 – Vol. 02 The Tyranny of Control.
Government planning and detailed control of economic activity lessens productive innovation, and consumer choice.

Searle & Company; Helen Hughes, Director of Economic Studies, World Bank; Jagdish Bhagwati, Professor of Economics, MIT.
