Tyranny, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty—and What to Do About It by Sohrab Ahmari (review)

Abstract

ABSTRACT: It’s no secret that many younger Americans are disillusioned with the neoliberal order. Even young Republicans exhibit a loss of faith, with positive views of capitalism hovering around 60 percent. For Sohrab Ahmari, this widespread sense of disenchantment represents a political opportunity. Ahmari is on a mission to harness youthful anti-neoliberal energy, with the ultimate goal of remaking the right in the post-Trump era. To advance this ambitious project, his new book, Tyranny Inc., reaches out to both young conservatives, who may still believe in the promises of Ayn Rand and Paul Ryan, and young socialists, who already distrust the libertarian creed but need to be persuaded that Ahmari is on their side.
