The Vision of a Real Free Market Society: Re-Imagining American Freedom

by Marcellus Andrews

Overview

The Vision of a Real Free Market Society calls for root and branch changes to the inherent structure of American capitalism. The book explains why the system fails so many Americans in so many different ways, and outlines how we can build a better economy that simultaneously promotes freedom and social justice while crippling the powers of America’s oligarchs. Exploring the idea of a left wing case for strong, but small government, the book makes the case for fundamental reforms that will lead to a truly free and fair society.
