gskibum- If subsidies for agriculture were to be ended, would the resulting drop in prices cause much of the American agriculture industry to collapse and shift to other countries, thus making America a net importer of agriculture?
arcanekrusader- Haha, he destroyed her brain.
llcoolray3000- Women...
mba2ceo- U just lack the capacity to comprehend world markets. If USA allowed free markets most middle and small farmers would go out of business & the rest of the world would starve. The USA GOVT is corrupt but the USA citizen is extremely uneducated & stupid. Just my opinion.
Tigerfire75- Yes we would become an importer if it is cheaper to import. Of course we could cut back the regulations that run up the cost of farming.
theredscourge- Government intervention ensures surpluses you say? Would you care to remind me how large the Federal Government budget surplus was this year? Also, how many in the last 300 have had surpluses?
Frankie Tierney- We have future contracts or "futures" that offer that kind of system, that is selling something at a fixed price in the future. Airlines buy future contracts that guarantee a set price of fuel on a given day for a given amount.
mba2ceo- Free Trade = exploitation !!!
IvanAndreevich- Milton Friedman - Should ... Be Subsidized? NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :)
Allan Herrera- I agree; and free trade wouldn't require any agreement of the sort.
Keegan Idler- Just because all ducks are birds does not mean all birds are ducks. I said surpluses are either a result of government or error. I did not say that all error and government intervention results in surplus. Do you understand or shall I go on?
frankos rooni- Price guarantees cause false markets and over production of goods The US + EU have both totally ruined their agri-market by unbalancing the supply and demand side --allowing for dump off of subsidised goods into the 3rd world which has ruined their agri-markets in turn. It is simple economics --if you guarantee a fixed price for goods it excludes demand --and makes a false market --this causes glut or famine You seem rather emotional about this --I suggest you read more and emote less
stevemcgee99- An alternative to price fixing for protecting an investment is to trade futures. The futures contracts stabilize prices.
BrokenMikrofone- Yes. To your No.
Alec D.- If that were the case, wouldn't that already be happening? If it was as simple as foreign exporters of agricultural goods selling their products in America, why hasn't that already happened?
frankos rooni- No it isn't ---it is exactly what the trade groups in Africa want and desperately need to succeed. Free trade and open markets are the only guarantee that small businesses can bring goods to market that punters need.
Scott Poet- This is the first time, I genuine disagreement with Milton Friedman. What he states in this video is good, but it is a narrow view of agriculture &international trade. The underlying issue with subsidies is monopolization. This occurs at the local, state, national and international level. An example, 1 cow imported from Canada tested positive for a disease, & Japan (#1 US beef consumer) used it as an excuse to stop all beef imports as leverage for a more favorable car trade agreement.
mba2ceo- Yes ... but also instills corruption of the "round table" where charlatans pass the contracts around that the end consumers pay an inflated price. Just my opinion.
Kevin McMahon- This video is a bit dated. Does anyone know if the farm subsidy program we have in place now is the same as we had back then?
MrMithars- Subsidies are just forms of cover up . The main problem is false price sytem caused by wrong monetry policy. I think....
theredscourge- How would the rest of the world starve? Wouldn't farmers going out of business infer that it was because prices were too low for them to be competitive at, thus ensuring the rest of the world actually is able to purchase more food? If price drops spiraled out of control, as many have said before, low prices are their own cure in a market system.
frankos rooni- I live in a rural area btw --and all the farmers would prefer a free market for their goods --the EU has shattered at of farms with it's interference. I also deal with small businesses in Africa --and their greatest wish is to trade freely with the west and not have tariffs or fixed prices on their goods. Every business should be able to set the price they sell their goods at the price that makes them a profit --but is still competitive. That philosophy has worked since Phoenician times
JapanLessons- 5:21 That girl has no idea what she's talking about.
K64JT- These short clips are great.
Tigerfire75- We don't need to be subsidizing. We need our government to get out of business. I ask anyone to name one instance of the government getting involved in business and making it better.
screwy puppy- Aaaahhhh, .... Friedman. I wish I could think as clearly as you always.
Berelore- LOL can't tell if trolling or just stupid...
Technoguy3- No.
TheKaffeeKlatsch- Nice, Carola Mone did her under grad at UC Santa Cruz (liberaltopia) and eventually was disbarred in California. Maybe she should have listened to Dr. Friedman.
jimisback- At what cost? So the taxpayer pays for what they don't need, and for what reason? Yes, supply and demand works.
puppetsock- As Friedman would have said, in comparison to what? Before NAFTA there was trade under a different set of rules. The question is, were those rules better or worse? Certainly it would be possible to reduce the rules, and I'd be in favor of that. Hopefully towards no rules at all.
Keegan Idler- There is no such thing as a surplus except as a result of entrepenurial error or government intervention
