Nobel Prize-winning economist Friedrich Hayek argued in The Road to Freedom that freedom and prosperity can only be achieved by fully embracing the free market, and that any government intervention paves the way for tyranny. Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz recently published The Road to Freedom, at a time when extremism is once again on the rise around the world. Stiglitz believes that some states are moving toward a new version of fascism, “adapted for the 21st century.” But contrary to Hayek’s argument, Stiglitz believes that the rise of authoritarianism is not currently visible in those states where governments are doing too much, but precisely where governments are doing too little to protect people from unemployment, the effects of technology and migration, the stress of adapting to globalization and a world that is changing too quickly and that many no longer understand. -- Sources & recommendations: History of the Future – Peter Turchin The Road to Freedom – Joseph Stiglitz -- ServerConfig Outlet: https://www.server-config.ro/outlet -- Magazinul Nației: https://stareanatiei.ro/magazin/ ___ Welcome to the official State of the Nation channel, alongside Dragoș Pătraru & friends. ___ In a world where the press has enough moments when it deviates from its status as a watchdog of democracy, things must also be resolved from within the guild. Such shows, which sanction the slippages of politicians and the press alike, can seriously contribute to the recovery of the press. We do not give verdicts, but we will present the facts. And as they show, often there is no need for verdicts. ___ The independent press, without which a democracy cannot survive, needs the support of citizens to be strong. Our journalism is free from commercial bias and is not influenced by media trust owners, politicians or even shareholders.
