Økonomi & Business
In "Freedom First," finance professor Donald R. Chambers delivers 119 thought-provoking essays that challenge conventional wisdom about economics, liberty, and government intervention. Drawing from his 36 years of teaching and research experience, Chambers presents accessible arguments for how free markets and individual liberty create prosperity and peace, while government overreach and centralized planning lead to inefficiency and decline.
From "The Tragedy of the Commons" to "Prices as an Information Freeway," these concise readings illuminate fundamental economic principles through everyday examples and historical perspectives. Chambers explores how market prices communicate complex information, why technological innovation flourishes in free societies, and how well-intentioned government policies often produce unintended negative consequences.
Written with clarity and conviction, Chambers tackles contemporary issues like minimum wage laws, healthcare policy, and environmental protection through a libertarian lens that prioritizes individual rights and voluntary cooperation. He argues that many social problems stem not from too little government but from misguided interventions that undermine natural market forces.
Whether examining the folly of "buying local," the wisdom of allowing market prices to guide decisions, or the danger of identity politics, Chambers makes a compelling case for liberty as the bedrock of human flourishing. Perfect for readers seeking intellectual ammunition against expanding government control of economic life.
If you enjoyed "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell, "Free to Choose" by Milton and Rose Friedman, or "Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt, you'll love "Freedom First: Brief Readings on Liberty, Peace and Prosperity."
