Summary

"The progressive economics writer redefines the national conversation about American freedom"--, Provided by publisherHealth insurance, student loan debt, retirement savings, child care, work-life balance, access to home ownership-- these are the issues driving America's current political debates. Konczal believes they are all linked by a single question: should we allow the free market to determine our lives? His answer is a resounding "no". With chapters on the history of Homestead Act and land ownership, the eight-hour work day and free time and much more, Konczal shows how citizens have fought to ensure that everyone has access to the conditions that make us free. -- adapted from jacket
