About this listen

Individual liberty rarely vanishes overnight. It erodes gradually—quietly, incrementally, and often in the name of good intentions. In The Forbidden Idea, Mark A. Monoscalco challenges the assumptions that have shaped modern political and economic thought, arguing that human flourishing depends on unfettered minds and voluntary cooperation—not coercion, central planning, or wealth redistribution. Through a careful examination of philosophy, economics, and history, Monoscalco restores foundational principles that have been dulled or distorted: consent over force, spontaneous order over central planning, voluntary cooperation over coercive redistribution. He exposes how collectivist philosophy undermines moral autonomy and replaces responsibility with obedience. Written for listeners who value reasoned argument over slogans, this audiobook is both a warning and an invitation to question prevailing narratives and to rediscover the moral and philosophical foundations of a free society. The future of individual liberty will not be decided by institutions alone. It will be decided by individuals willing to think—and speak—freely.
