Why Your Freedom is Being Stolen (And How to Reclaim It) | The Road to Freedom | Joseph E Stiglitz

Описание: In an era of rising inequality and political polarization, what does it actually mean to be "free"? In this episode of Deep Dive ~ Book Pods, we are dissecting Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz’s latest masterpiece: The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society.

Stiglitz argues that the "freedom" promised by unregulated markets has actually led to the "unfreedom" of the many. Today, we break down his vision for Progressive Capitalism and how we can rewrite the social contract for the 21st century.

In this deep dive, we explore:

The "Wolf vs. Sheep" Dilemma: Why one person's freedom often comes at the cost of another's.

The Failure of Neoliberalism: How "trickle-down" economics became a road to serfdom for the middle class.

The Veil of Ignorance: Applying John Rawls’s philosophy to create a truly just economic system.

Progressive Capitalism: Stiglitz’s roadmap for government intervention, environmental protection, and social justice.

The Road to Freedom is Joseph E. Stiglitz’s response to Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom. Stiglitz contends that true liberty requires more than just the absence of government; it requires the presence of opportunity, education, and health. It is a powerful call to move away from market fundamentalism toward a society that values human flourishing above pure GDP.
