The idea of freedom is at the heart of our political and economic systems. It is foundational to our democracy, our way of life - our very conception of what it is to be human. But are we free in the way that we think we are?In Creating Freedom, Raoul Martinez compellingly dismantles the sacred myth of freedom, showing that our belief that our institutions are free, even our sense of ourselves as agents of free will, is all based on false understanding. From the lottery of our birth, to the coercive influence of our media, to the self-reinforcing, consent-manufacturing realities of power and money, this far-reaching manifesto fiercely demonstrates just how differently we would act if we accepted how the world really is.It shows that freedom is not something we are given; it is not even something we can easily take. But with empathy, imagination, and determination - it is something we can create.

Recommendation:
This book is a must-read for those interested in social and economic reform. Will Hutton argues that the key to restoring the American dream is through a partnership with Europe, where core values such as an honest and enlightened economy, a vital public realm and a recognition of interdependence are prioritized. Hutton also discusses how rampant materialism and an unquestioning faith in American exceptionalism have led to the deterioration of essential core values. With clear, cogent arguments and calls to action, this book is a game-changer for those seeking a more equitable and just society.
