Introduction / Stephen Macedo -- Author's preface -- 1. When the market was "left" -- 2. Private government -- Comments. 3. Learning from the Levellers? / Ann Hughes ; 4. Market rationalization / David Bromwich ; 5. Help wanted: subordinates / Niko Kolodny ; 6. Work isn't so bad after all / Tyler Cowen -- Response. 7. Reply to commentators / Elizabeth Anderson.
Based on two lectures given in 2014 by the author during the Tanner Lectures on Human Values delivered at Princeton University, followed by four commentaries by eminent scholars and the author's response to the commentators. Anderson questions the authoritarian control workers have been forced to give to their employers in order to remain employed and historically why this goes against American ideology of free market values.
