Bob Arre: I think that what we need is an economy in which a much greater share of workers are unionized. He says showing solidarity with workers on strike instead of complaining about slightly higher prices, etc. is the kind of thing that you can do. "I think just rethinking what it means to be a worker and not being tied to the idea that a worker is a burly teamster carpenter"

Sohrab Ahmari is a writer, commentator, and the founding editor of Compact. He is the author of Tyranny, Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty–and What to Do About It.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Sohrab Ahmari discuss the threat corporate power poses to individual freedom in the United States; whether liberalism has gone too far in prioritizing individual autonomy over the common good; and why they disagree about whether attempting to move beyond liberalism would make things better or worse.
