Conclusion
The author finished by saying, “The main point of this book was not to propose concrete policy prescriptions, but to start us thinking and arguing about what a genuine free society might actually be like.” I would add that we need also to be thinking and arguing about what is needed to make such a society sustainable for many generations.
I trust some readers of this review will head to the local library to pick up a copy and give it a read. If so, I do think you will enjoy it and learn much about the world you have been observing around you for many years. It may make you think twice about the next ‘jobs report’ you encounter.
