Recenzje

Waheed Hussain has left us with a gift DL a thoughtful, compelling, original theory about markets and freedom. Human freedom in a complex market economy is not simply about having lots of economic options. Instead, Hussain offers an anti-authoritarian economic ideal, in which companies as well as government enable and respond to our judgments, rather than short-circuiting them in the name of efficiency.
