Originally published in 1962 and reissued with a new Preface in 1982, Milton Friedman’s, Capitalism and Freedom remains relevant today and just might help provide some counter arguments to the manifestos the political parties will issue for the upcoming election.
Some important chapters are:
The Role of Government In A Free Society
Fiscal Policy
The Role Of Government In Education
Capitalism And Discrimination

Here’s their summary:
"Selected by the "Times Literary Supplement" as one of the "hundred most influential books since the war"
"How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of his immensely influential economic philosophy–one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom. The result is an accessible text that has sold well over half a million copies in English, has been translated into eighteen languages, and shows every sign of becoming more and more influential as time goes on."
