 Friedman (1962b [2017: 26]) echoes many of these points, stressing that political freedom is just “the absence of coercion of a man by his fellow men” and that the fundamental threat to freedom “is the power to coerce” whether that power be in the hands of a dictator or of “a momentary majority”. Friedman also worries that democracy will tend to lead to regulation, inefficiency, and control if we have “bureaucratic democracy” rather than “participatory  democracy”.[8]
