All Roads Lead to Serfdom

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the challenges facing liberal democracies, highlighting the rise of populism fueled by dissatisfaction with inequality and political engagement. It critiques the utilitarian framework of liberalism for exacerbating power imbalances that undermine freedom and equality. By analyzing five public policy areas—monetary policy, property rights, state structure, product, and labor markets—it draws on the German ordoliberal tradition to propose a new policy framework aimed at redistributing power and realigning policymaking with liberal principles.
