Do you know what you mean, when you say free-markets?

4 stars

Deeply thoughtful book, which makes clear how Chicago school economics has completely screwed over so much of the world and for what? The origins of free-market economics is something everyone in the tech industry should read to truly understand the extent of some of those dreams.
