The aim of ths article is to analyze the concept of M. Friedman - the main leader of the Chicago School, the founder of the theory of monetarism. Friedman considers political and economic freedom, based on symmetry, mutual conditions. His neo-liberal account of the role of the state in the economy allows a moderate, but limited intervention to ensure the implementation of the principles of democracy, the introduction of social security and elimination of social inequalities.
