A Free Market for All

Więcej o książce

Critique of capitalism is making a comeback. It is said to cause inequality, destroy the environment and undermine our sense of community, while CEOs collect high bonuses and multinationals evade taxes. Some critics would like to see capitalism collapse as soon as possible. A Free Market for All discusses the liberal perspective on the market. It does not echo widespread defeatism, but rather adopts a positive view. It explains why liberals advocate a free market and why they prefer this term to 'capitalism'. The book outlines how the free market has contributed greatly to our wealth and how it aligns with the fundamental liberal value of individual freedom. Based on this liberal optimism, the most important contemporary critiques are addressed. Some criticisms and misconceptions are disproved, others are taken to heart by the authors. The book concludes with a liberal vision of the future of the free market and recommendations for a market that continues to work for all of us.
