Description
The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society by Joseph E. Stiglitz A major reappraisal of the relationship between capitalism and freedom, The Road to Freedom challenges the dominant narrative of neoliberalism. Stiglitz argues that the freedoms of corporations should not come at the expense of individuals, and that unregulated markets can actually reduce economic opportunities and wealth for majorities. Stiglitz examines how neoliberal economics has impacted our legal and social freedoms, from property and intellectual rights to education and social media. He offers an alternative vision for a good society, one that prioritises human flourishing and the great aim of our economic and social system. This book provides a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics, and what constitutes a good society, and offers a roadmap for achieving it.
