Freedom Under Planning
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good. Jacket: Chipped, torn with minor damage. Page Condition: Yellowed. Markings: Previous owner. Binding: Intact. Notes: Dust jacket present but showing age-related wear and fading consistent with publication era.
A landmark work in political economy, Freedom under Planning presents Barbara Wootton's compelling argument that personal liberty and centralized economic planning are not mutually exclusive ideals. Writing against the backdrop of post-war reconstruction and the heated debate between socialism and liberalism, Wootton systematically dismantles the assumption that state planning necessarily threatens individual freedoms. With sharp analytical clarity, she illustrates how a democratically governed planned economy can preserve — and even strengthen — civil liberties that unregulated markets often fail to guarantee. The book stands as a rigorous intellectual challenge to the era's prevailing laissez-faire orthodoxy, cementing Wootton's reputation as one of Britain's most incisive social scientists.
