But today, the language of freedom has been co-opted and used to justify exploitation. Pharmaceutical companies are free to overcharge for medication, big tech is free from oversight, politicians are free to incite rebellion, corporations are free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are weshould webe thinking about?</p><p>In <em>The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society</em>, Joseph E. Stiglitz reveals why Americas core political and economic systems dont offer true freedom. Taking on giants of neoliberalism and free market capitalism, such as Hayek and Friedman, Stiglitz turns these accepted ideas about our systems on their head. <em>The Road to Freedom</em> offers a fundamental reevaluation of democracy, economics, and what constitutes a good society, showing what kind of economic and political system is most likely to deliver a good society, including one that enhances meaningful freedoms for most individuals. Stiglitzs latest is vital reading for anyone envisioning a future led by tolerance, education, and, above all, freedom.</p>...(*_*)9781324074380_<p><strong>From one of the worlds leading economists, a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom.</strong></p><p>We are a nation born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are weand should webe thinking about?</p><p>In <em>The Road to Freedom</em>, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects Americas current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. Free and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom.</p><p>As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues, the failures follow from the elites unshakeable dedication to the neoliberal experiment. Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz exposes accepted ideas about our political and economic life for what they are: twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few.</p><p><em>The Road to Freedom</em> breaks new ground, showing how economicsincluding recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important rolereframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers, Stiglitz explains a deeper, more humane way to assess freedomsone that considers with care what to do when one persons freedom conflicts with anothers. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish. The task could not be more urgent, and Stiglitzs latest book is essential reading for those committed to the American ideal of an economic and political system that delivers well-being, opportunity, and meaningful freedoms for all.</p>...9781324074380_W.
