Private Government

How Employers Rule Our Lives
Summary:

The book argues that many workplaces are authoritarian private governments where employers wield extensive control over workers' lives, often with little accountability or input from employees. It challenges the notion of a free market by highlighting the lack of freedom within the workplace and calls for a reevaluation of workers' rights and the power dynamics in modern employment relationships.

Key points:

1. Free Market Illusion in Labor: Elizabeth Anderson claims that a truly free labor market is a myth due to the power imbalance between employers and workers, particularly where there are no unions.
