**What Did the Founders Mean by "Created Equal"?**

The phrase **"all men are created equal"** has shaped America for generations. It's quoted often, but its original meaning is rarely explored.

In *Created Equal*, Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman revisits one of the nation's founding principles and examines how our understanding of equality has evolved over time. Through a thoughtful exploration of liberty, opportunity, and the role of government, Friedman challenges readers to reconsider one of the most enduring ideas in American history.
