Abstract: The author of the book " Freedom for Sale: How We Made Money and Lost Our Liberty," considers how people across the globe are willing to give up personal liberties for prosperity or security. He discusses restrictions in place in Singapore for those who wish to join an opposition group and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's thoughts on openness and plurality. The author suggests that the enrichment of a country does not automatically result in greater liberty within that country.
