Friedman was one of the most important economists during the second half of the twentieth century. In this book, he explains his approach to economic policy, which includes more emphasis on personal freedom and market mechanisms and less emphasis on centralized governmental solutions. This book is always one of the favorites of students in my freshman seminar. Both those who agree with it and those who don't appreciate Friedman's straightforward, logical prose...

The blatant discrimination of eras past, says author Susan Douglas, has been supplanted by a more insidious form of bias, which suggests that sexist messages are O.K. if couched in irony. (It's fine to enjoy watching catty contestants on The Bachelor snipe at one another - because, come on, we all know most women aren't like that. Ha-ha. Right?) Douglas talked to TIME about the economic plight of women today...
...write that there are two poles when it comes to images of women in the media. What are they? We see [female] chiefs of police, surgeons and lawyers everywhere [on TV]. And that is the result of what I've labeled in the book "embedded feminism": back in the late '60s, early '70s, feminism was kind of outside of popular culture and mainstream culture. Now it's not. The goals and achievements of the women's movement are woven into our cultural fabric. So on the one hand, we see all these high-powered women who have made...
