DESCRIPTION:In [i]The Road to Freedom [/i]Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Sti
 glitz dissects America’s current economic system and the political ideolo
 gy that created it\, laying bare their twinned failure. “Free” and unfett
 ered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the fi
 nancial crisis\, the opioid crisis\, and the crisis of inequality. While 
 a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth\, wages
  for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploit
 ed consumers\, workers\, and the environment alike. Such failures have fe
 d populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligat
 ions citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength\, these movem
 ents now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom.\n\n[i
 ]The Road to Freedom[/i] breaks new ground\, showing how economics―includ
 ing recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important role―r
 eframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-
 first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers\,
  Stiglitz explains a deeper\, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that
  considers with care what to do when one person’s freedom conflicts with 
 another’s. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and 
 embrace forms of collective action\, including regulation and investment\
 , if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flouris
 h.\n\n[b]About Joseph E. Stiglitz[/b]\nJoseph E. Stiglitz is an American
