Liberty from All Masters: The New American Autocracy vs. the Will of the People

Více o knize

Barry C. Lynn, a leading thinker, delivers a compelling examination of the political and economic threats posed by America's new monopolies in Liberty from All Masters. Americans are deeply passionate about liberty, engaging in debates over issues like gun rights, abortion, marriage, and personal identity. We resist state regulation and rebel against constraints in our daily lives. However, many are just beginning to recognize a significant domestic threat to our freedoms: the alarming concentration of economic power. Monopolists now dominate nearly every sector of the American economy, resulting in lower wages, higher prices, and a troubling concentration of wealth and influence among a select few. This economic power undermines our ability to work freely, start and grow businesses, and build the communities and lives we desire. The emergence of online monopolies like Google and Amazon exacerbates these issues, as they collect our personal data to manipulate our behaviors. These corporations not only control how we share information but also increasingly influence how we move, play, speak, and think, posing a profound challenge to our liberties.
