The New Human Rights Movement: Reinventing the Economy to End Oppression by Peter Joseph

The sociological, economic, biological, and cultural forces that combined to create me have determined that I should appreciate this book at the same time as I have quite a few reservations about it. Joseph lays out a compelling case for the multifarious ways in which capitalism is failing most of the people on this planet, not to mention the planet itself. His claim that capitalism is actually far less efficient that we think is far more reasonable than I had expected it to be. That said, he makes some big claims that he doesn't do such a good job backing up. The statement that workers under capitalism are "wage slaves" seems like something of an unfair exaggeration, to put it mildly. Worse, he fails to address the main problem with implementing real change. He more or less declines to comment on the reality that only a small percentage of the country take major issue with capitalism. This seems to be the primary obstacle to moving forward on the changes he hopes to make.

It was a little funny to find this for free on Audible.
