Stunning Video - CSR, Ethics and Milton Friedman

Jim put a Milton Friedman video on a few weeks ago. I found these two clips of Milton Friedman being questioned by a University Student on Profit and Self interest (its the same video but split into two). Its so good that I showed it to my form class.

In the first clip the student questions him on a case whereby an old man couldnt afford to pay his electric bill. Subsequently he was cut off and dies as a result. In the second clip, he discusses the Ford Pinto scandal. My form class were spellbound.

Amazing, amazing stuff.

The first clip can be found here and the second one here.
