We the people: government and politics -- Ideology and myths -- The economy -- The secondary economy -- The rise of large corporations -- Large corporations and economic power -- Heads we win, tales you lose: large corporations and government -- Media and freedom to profit -- Competition and markets -- Competition policy -- Fortunes and fairness -- Culture and values -- Final thoughts.

Economic Freedom and the American Dream explores the effects of economic freedom on America in several areas, such as, markets, politics, and opportunities. By focusing on the economic liberty of individuals, corporations, and markets, and the conflicts among them, the book offersan original perspective on some of the nation's most difficult dilemmas. Shaanan challenges the view that unrestricted economic freedom enhances our economic and political well being. He demonstrates that while economic freedom provides benefits, its unchecked version, including theright to profit through government, inflicts a heavy toll on democracy, free markets and, paradoxically, on economic freedom itself.
