The Value of Free The Value of Free Free is a strange word. In society, most of the things that claim to be free are in fact not free at all.
Many countries claim to have free education, free health care, free water.
Governments tell us that they are working to create environments where you are free to walk the streets at night without worrying about crime. During the day we can visit free parks and free museums. We have freedom of information legislation that allows us to freely access essential information. Of course, none of the above is actually free. Very, very little is free there is always a price or a cost attached.
