Q: According to Friedman, what are the basic differences in the argument between collectivism and individualism?
A: "The argument for collectivism is simple if false; it is an immediate emotional argument. The argument for individualism is subtle and sophisticated; it is an indirect rational argument. And the emotional faculties are more highly developed in most men than the rational, paradoxically or especially even in those who regard themselves as intellectuals." ( Hayek xii)
