弗里德曼：硅谷是在自杀
May 1, 2000,
National Taxpayers Union
诺贝尔经济学奖得主米尔顿·弗里德曼与“美国纳税人联盟”2000年5月1日
发表联合声明，反对美国政府司法部提出的分拆微软的方案。
弗里德曼教授指出：“最近处置微软的事件，充分证实了我去年所表达的观
点——硅谷邀请政府参与调解该行业里几个大企业与微软之间的纠纷，这种做法
是自杀性的。
“法律上劳师动众所花费的金钱，本来可以更有效地运用在科研上。训练有
素的律师们在法庭上浪费的时间，本来可以用得更有成效。
“总体来说，这已经导致了计算机产业的资本价值下降，微软首当其冲，但微
软的竞争对手也不例外。他们一手造成了这段不可思议的插曲，他们必定要为此
而悔恨。”
Nation's Largest Taxpayer Group Teams With Nobel Laureate Milton
Friedman In Blasting Break-Up Plan For Microsoft
(Alexandria, VA) - The 300,000-member National Taxpayers Union (NTU),
along with Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman, today jointly denounced the
just-unveiled plan from the Justice Department and state Attorneys
General calling for a break-up of Microsoft as a "remedy" in the
government's protracted antitrust case against the computer firm.
Following is a statement issued today by Dr. Friedman for National
Taxpayers Union:
"Recent events dealing with the Microsoft suit certainly support the
view I expressed a year ago - that Silicon Valley is suicidal in
calling government in to mediate in the disputes among some of the big
companies in the area and Microsoft.
The money that has been spent on legal maneuvers would have been much
more usefully spent on research in technology. The loss of the time
spent in the courts by highly trained and skilled lawyers could
certainly have been spent more fruitfully.
Overall, the major effect has been a decline in the capital value of
the computer industry, Microsoft in particular, but its competitors as
well. They must rue the day that they set this incredible episode in
operation."
National Taxpayers Union President John Berthoud also blasted the
break-up plan in his own statement. "Whether Microsoft is smashed into
two pieces or two hundred pieces, the damage will be the same if the
government is allowed to swing its break-up axe in the first place,"
Berthoud said. "Serious jurists and policymakers should reject this
plan outright." Earlier this week, NTU's research affiliate released a
study that traced the destruction of billions in middle-class
shareholder wealth from Microsoft and other high-technology firms due
to government antitrust actions. "Not content with over $80 billion in
losses they've inflicted on Microsoft, and billions more on NASDAQ
companies, government lawyers want to bleed dry the 2,000 mutual funds
and millions of Americans who hold shares in Microsoft, by slicing the
firm in two," Berthoud concluded. "This reckless amputation is a far
cry from the 'surgical intervention' that lead Justice Department
attorney Joel Klein promised over a year ago."
National Taxpayers Union is a grassroots organization founded in 1969
to work for lower taxes, less wasteful spending, and less regulation at
all levels. Note: An audio version of Dr. Friedman's statement, along
with the NTU Foundation study, The Visible Hand: How Government Robbed
Shareholders of $80 Billion, is available online at www.ntu.org.
