I’m super late to the party reading Brink Lindsey’s books, but I’m a major fan and have been getting caught up. This book is so damned good, and everyone should read it. We’re made to believe that capitalism means a free market, but this market is anything but free. Teles and Lindsey explain what economists call “rent-seeking” and how the ultra-rich stay in power while not giving opportunities to the lower classes. This book opened my eyes to so many things I was unaware of like the truth behind licensing for different careers as well as intellectual property and patent trolls.
