Join us at this special event at which Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz will talk about his new book, that is a major reappraisal of the relationship between capitalism and freedom.

Freedom is a core human value. But few of freedom’s advocates ask what the idea really means.” Whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about? What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s? Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do? Stiglitz takes on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman to reclaim the language of freedom from the right. He shows that ‘free’ – unregulated – markets, far from promoting growth and enterprise, in fact lessen economic opportunities for majorities and siphon wealth from the many to the few – both individuals and countries. He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media.
