Between Freedom and DemocracyMichael C. JensenHarvard Business School; Social Science Electronic Publishing (SSEP), Inc.; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) William H. MecklingSimon School, University of Rochester (Deceased) October 30, 1977 The Banker, pp. 39-49, October 1977 Harvard Business School NOM Unit Working Paper No. 1977 Abstract: Is there a fundamental conflict between a political democracy as we know it and a free market, private enterprise or capitalist system? William Meckling and Michael Jensen of the University of Rochester, New York, believe that indeed there is, and that it is only a matter of time before the political sector eliminates most of the freedoms we still enjoy in the private sector of the economy. The first part of this study, contributed by Michael Jensen, describes the gradual destruction of individuals" rights and the attack on business corporations; the second part, by William Meckling, discusses why freedom is being destroyed, how the press helps governments to destroy it, and what can be done to stop it.
