Krátky popis
A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the
relationship between capitalism and freedomDespite its manifest
failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the
public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By
this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’
capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom
for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But,
in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should
we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom
comes at the expense of another’s? Should the freedoms of
corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the
ways they now do?Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek
and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz
reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far
from ‘free’ – unregulated – markets promoting growth and
enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic
opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to
the few – both individuals and countries.He shows how neoliberal
economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and
social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual
rights, to education and social media. Stiglitz’s eye, as always,
is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should
be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an
alternative to that prevailing today. The Road to Freedom offers a
powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes
a good society—and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.
