Democratic nations tend to be freer across various aspects of life, and most people assume this political system is the best way to support liberty. The reality of democratic systems differs from popular rhetoric. One of the key reasons for this is that our system is entangled. The political and commercial are so intertwined that they cannot be easily separated. Businesses have political interests, and politicians have commercial interests. Due to the logic of entanglement, returning to a "free market" is not always an option. In this book, the authors pull economics back to its classical roots to analyze the social orders that best allow people to live together. The world is not constantly aiming at placidity, as the prevailing economics of equilibrium would have us think. We live in a world of change and turbulence, so our social science requires a framework that deals with this turbulence robustly. Classical economists beginning with Adam Smith sought to uncover which forms of human association allowed us to live better together. The authors explain Smith's observations, asking the same sorts of questions of readers today. Because the baseline assumption of entanglement does not allow one to divide the world so clearly into two distinct structures, the authors parallel Smith's approach, focusing on forms of association rather than political or commercial structures. Focusing on human association, the authors help readers uncover the manifold structures humans have devised that allow them to tame the turbulence and live lives more harmoniously with others.
