Stiglitz says real freedom is not just about having free markets, but it is about making sure people have real choices and chances in life. He argues that when markets are left to run without rules, they often lead to inequality, bad working conditions, and less freedom for most people. Instead, he supports a system where governments help make things fairer. Such as investing in education, healthcare, and protecting the environment. He believes that a good society needs both strong markets and strong public support, and that we should rethink how we measure success – not just by profits, but by how well people live.
