By separating government financing of education from government administration of schools, Friedman argued, "parents at all income levels would have the freedom to choose the schools their children attend.". Liberty & Learning is a collection of essays from the nation's top education experts evaluating the progress of Friedman's innovative idea and reflecting on its merits in the 21st century. The book also contains a special prologue and epilogue by Milton Friedman himself.
