Private Government - (University Center for Human Values) by Elizabeth Anderson

Private Government by Elizabeth Anderson is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the overlooked subject of workplace governance.

The author examines why, despite our obsession with individual freedom, we continue to treat workers as if they are in a dictatorship.

Through a combination of history, economic theory, and philosophy, Anderson argues that employers hold sweeping authority over employees' lives, from speech to clothing to political beliefs.

This book is a must-read for anyone who spends time at work or wants to understand why our workplaces are often authoritarian private governments.

With its thoughtful and compelling argument, Private Government deserves to be widely read and discussed.
