Marx and Engels recognized capitalism's power to create prosperity. Today, global capitalism faces accusations of fueling inequality and climate change. Populists call for trade barriers and nationalization, but Johan Norberg argues that these measures would harm the vulnerable.
In this incisive investigation, Norberg makes the case for capitalism and the free market. He explains the vital role they play in today's world, and how a move away from them would squeeze economic growth and deepen social exclusion. This is a call to embrace economic freedom as the best path to progress.
