NARRATOR: Friedman's first talk was at the Catholic University。 His theme: the inescapable link between free markets and freedom。

JAVIER VIAL: Friedman says: "Well; I'm going to give you an example。 If you cut the tail to a dog in pieces; step by step you will kill the dog。 This is the same as inflation。 You have to cut it at once; and then the country will start moving。"

贾威尔。维拉(Javier Vial):弗里德曼,“好吧,我给你举个例子,假如你一段一段地剁一条狗的尾巴,慢慢地你就会杀死这条狗,通货膨胀也是一样的,你必须立即遏制它,整个国家经济才会开始动起来。
