Capitalism vs. Freedom: The Toll Road to Serfdom

Capitalism vs. Freedom: The Toll Road to Serfdom

For years, we've been taught that capitalism is good for freedom. Dominant right-wing talk radio hosts to this day recommend â€œlibertarianâ€ classics like Hayek's Road to Serfdom and Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom that claim markets free us, and this picture still dominates the schools and the political spectrum. Well get bent, one percent, because Rob Larson's Capitalism vs. Freedom: The Toll Road to Serfdom puts big business under a microscope. This book debunks the conservative classics while demonstrating that the marketplace has its own great centers of power, which the libertarian tradition itself claims is a limit to freedom. In fact, Larson illustrates how capitalism fails both this and other concepts of human libertyâ€•not just failing to establish a right to a share of society's production, but also leaving us subject to the great power plays of the one percent's corporate property.
