In his classic book Capitalism and Freedom Milton Friedman presents his view of the proper role of competitive capitalism - the organization of the bulk of economic activity through private enterprise operating in a free market - as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom He also outlines the role that government should play in a society dedicated to freedom and relying primarily on the market to organize economic activity Friedman begins with a discussion of the principles of a truly liberal society He then applies those principles to a range of pressing problems including monetary policy discrimination education income distribution welfare and poverty The result is a book that has sold well over half a million copies in English has been translated into eighteen languages and has become increasingly influential in recent years as more and more governments have moved from highly planned economies to embrace free market economics"

| "In The Meaning of the Body Mark Johnson continues his pioneering work on the exciting connections between cognitive science language and meaning first begun in the classic Metaphors We Live By Johnson uses recent research into infant psychology to show how the body generates meaning even before self-consciousness has fully developed From there he turns to cognitive neuroscience to further explore the bodily origins of meaning thought and language and examines the many dimensions of meaning - including images qualities emotions and metaphors - that are all rooted in the body's physical encounters with the world Drawing on the psychology of art and pragmatist philosophy Johnson argues that all of these aspects of meaning-making are fundamentally aesthetic He concludes that the arts are the culmination of human attempts to find meaning and that studying the aesthetic dimensions of our experience is crucial to unlocking meaning's bodily sourcesThroughout Johnson puts forth a bold new conception of the mind rooted in the understanding that philosophy will matter to nonphilosophers only if it is built on a visceral connection to the world"
