Reviews for The Road to Freedom
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This excellent book successfully argues that advocates for free enterprise should do so primarily as a moral stance. The first half explains why this approach is more effective. Free enterprise is better not just because of the outcomes it produces, but more importantly because it reflects values underlying true liberty. Policies counter to free enterprise are damaging not just to overall growth, but more importantly, to individuals, because they are kept from achieving their own potential. He wraps up in the last few chapters with a practical application to current issues. The whole argument is well structured and convincing.
