Thank you for your input, that just confirms what the studies showed. Freedom has many faces, not being left on the roadside because you can't outcompete in the gig-economy is also a form of freedom.

There's an excellent video on the youtube channel Second Thought that goes through a list of freedoms, I encourage you to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xqouhMCJBI

They expose the positive freedoms ("freedom to...") and negative freedoms ("freedom from...") – and also show how capitalism opposes all those freedoms, because they're based.

Examples :

  • Positive Freedom: having the capacity to act according to one's free will
  • Negative Freedom: the freedom from coercion by others
