The Workplace Dictatorship We Don't Talk About
Imagine waking up each morning in a society that champions freedom, only to spend your day under what amounts to a dictatorship. This isn't dystopian fiction - it's the reality for millions of American workers. Elizabeth Anderson's "Private Government" exposes a profound contradiction at the heart of modern capitalism: while we celebrate democracy in public life, we accept authoritarian control in our workplaces without question. What makes this paradox especially fascinating is its historical roots. The free market ideology that now justifies workplace authoritarianism actually began as a radical egalitarian movement meant to liberate ordinary people from feudal hierarchies. How did a philosophy of freedom transform into a justification for workplace dictatorships? And why do we still pretend that employees and employers meet as equals in the marketplace?
