Economic Freedom (1958)
About this film
The guests this episode are Clarence B. Randall, chairman of the Council on Foreign Economic Policy of the United States; and August Heckscher, director, the Twentieth Century Fund. Randal and Heckscher join Louis Lyons for an examination of the strengths of Free Enterprise and some of its weaknesses. They discuss the difficulty of transplanting the American concept of free enterprise to other countries, and the problems of competing with Russia for trade with those countries. They agree that the government has a responsibility to see that the economic system as a whole maintains a certain level of prosperity and avoids depressions.
