The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society
₦18,000.00
In this bold and timely book, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz challenges the idea that unregulated capitalism automatically leads to prosperity and freedom.
For decades, neoliberalism has promoted the belief that less government and more market power equals greater freedom. But Stiglitz asks: Whose freedom are we really talking about? And what happens when corporate freedoms come at the cost of everyday people’s rights?
In this powerful reappraisal, Stiglitz:
- Critically examines the ideas of free-market thinkers like Friedman and Hayek
- Reveals how so-called “free markets” often restrict opportunities for the majority
- Explores how inequality, education, digital platforms, and corporate power affect real freedom
- Reclaims the meaning of freedom, democracy, and fairness in economics
With clarity and conviction, he shows how our economic systems shape the kind of society we live in — and offers a vision for building a more just, inclusive, and truly free world.
An essential read for anyone interested in democracy, justice, and the future of our economies.
