Elizabeth Anderson explores the often-overlooked reality that many modern workplaces function as authoritarian private governments. She challenges the assumption that free markets inherently protect individual liberty, arguing instead that employees are frequently subject to arbitrary power and control that mirrors state-level tyranny.
