Her book transcribes two lectures given in 2015, and presents the originality of then giving a voice to her opponents, in order to nourish her own reflection. His deliberately provocative remarks revolve around two main ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the one hand, Anderson observes that the market, designed to be liberating, is today proving to be a source of oppression for many employees. The company functions like a private government, which constrains them in a way they would not tolerate from a democratic state. On the other hand, she points out that this issue is largely underestimated, even denied in political and academic discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shortcut Edition","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44933660082337,"sku":"9781291718256","price":27.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/j2d482-front-shortedge-384_40e0a623-0313-4517-a9be-b7ad6ff88419.jpg?v=1748396455","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/summary-private-government-how-employers-rule-our-lives-and-why-we-donot-talk-about-it-by-elizabeth-anderson","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
