Are Americans truly free? In The Freedom Scale, Jake Morrett argues that personal liberty is under assault from an ever-expanding government and erosion of constitutional principles. This incisive examination of modern politics proposes a new framework for evaluating policies based on how they impact individual freedom.
Morrett takes readers on a journey through the hot-button issues that can create a domino effect on freedom as a whole, like taxation, gun rights, healthcare, and education-viewing each through the lens of liberty vs. government control. He offers a blistering critique of policies that diminish personal choice, responsibility, and property rights while empowering the state. Neither Democrats nor Republicans are spared from Morrett’s scrutiny, as he builds a case that both parties have contributed to the decline of freedom.
More than just criticism, The Freedom Scale provides readers with tools to measure the impact of laws and regulations on personal liberty. Morrett’s analytical approach cuts through partisan rhetoric to focus on fundamental questions of individual rights and limited government. He challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about the proper role of government in a free society.
Part political philosophy, part call-to-action, this thought-provoking book makes a compelling case for recommitting to America’s founding principles. For those concerned about overreach and the future of freedom, The Freedom Scale offers a roadmap for restoring individual liberty in the modern era. Drawing from extensive historical research and contemporary case studies, Morrett illustrates how seemingly minor policy decisions can compound over time to fundamentally reshape the relationship between citizens and the state, often in ways that subtly diminish personal autonomy.
Fans of Liberty Defined by Ron Paul, The Tyranny of Liberalism by James Kalb, and The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek will love The Freedom Scale. Like these influential works, Morrett’s analysis serves as both a warning about the fragility of freedom and an inspirational guide for those seeking to preserve it.
