Friedman responded by asking what if the electric company never turned off the power for anyone? Who would pay the cost--the people who own or work at the electric company? It would be unjust to impose that responsibility on individuals who are running an honest business of providing electricity Friedman suggests that the true responsibility lies on the mans neighbors and friends who were not charitable enough to allow him to meet the electric bills Finally the student uses the example of Ford deciding not to install a $13 block of plastic which would prevent it's Pinto cars from exploding in a rear-end collision Ford estimated such a move would cost 200 lives a year at a cost of $200,000 per life lost They multiplied and found that it wasn't worth it to install the plastic block He asked if a corporation seeking it's own self-interest was a good thing in this case? Friedman responded by asking, what if it cost $1 billion to save each life, should Ford have put in the block? It's simply not practical to put an infinite value on an individuals life If it took $1 billion in resources to keep one individual safe, and acquiring those resources meant that a million people must starve, it's a bad deal Friedman concludes that he doesn't know if the $200,000 number that Ford used was the right number to maximize the overall benefits, but at the end of the day the principle is that we can't simply protect ourselves from everything and impose that cost on others Friedman posits that the question the student should be raising, is should Ford be required to attach the statement to the car, we've made this car $13 cheaper, and therefore it is X more risky for you to buy it See also Free to Choose - All 15 episodes streaming online for free http//wwwideachanneltv A history of Free to Choose http//wwwfreetochoosecom" (tümünü göster) (özeti göster) Etiketler : Milton Friedman Capitalism Freedom Corporations Profits Communism Socialism Subsidies Documentary Politics liberty
