Why our workplaces are authoritarian private governments-and why we
can't see it One in four American workers says their workplace is a
"dictatorship." Yet that number almost certainly would be higher if
we recognized employers for what they are-private governments with
sweeping authoritarian power over our lives. Many employers
minutely regulate workers' speech, clothing, and manners on the
job, and employers often extend their authority to the off-duty
lives of workers, who can be fired for their political speech,
recreational activities, diet, and almost anything else employers
care to govern. In this compelling book, Elizabeth Anderson
examines why, despite all this, we continue to talk as if free
markets make workers free, and she proposes a better way to think
about the workplace, opening up space for discovering how workers
can enjoy real freedom.
