{"product_id":"three-roads-robert-geissler-9798244000382","title":"Three Roads: China, the Free-Market Authoritarian Model, and America's Fork in the Road","description":"\u003cp\u003eChina has built one of the largest economies in human history without a single competitive national election. Singapore has paired genuine free markets with restricted political freedom for six decades. And the United States - long the reference case for how democracy and capitalism work together - has quietly adopted industrial policy, tariffs, and expanded executive power that borrow from both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThree Roads\u003c\/b\u003e examines all three systems side by side: China's party-directed state capitalism and the debt crisis now testing it, Singapore's hybrid model and whether it can scale beyond a city-state, and America's own contested economic and political direction. Drawing on the Austrian and Chicago schools of economics - Hayek's warning about the limits of central planning, Friedman's case for economic freedom - author Robert F. Geissler asks the question other books avoid: is there a stable alternative to liberal democratic capitalism, and if so, is the United States drifting toward it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo easy verdicts. No partisan score-settling. Just a clear-eyed look at three roads - and the choices still being made about which one America follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert F.
