A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Freedom is commonly recognized as the struggle for basic liberties, societies based upon open dialogue, human rights and democracy. The idea of freedom is central to western ideas of modernity, but this engaging, accessible book argues that our basic ideas of freedom are far less settled than we believe. Stevenson explores complaints about 'big brother', the arrival of the business society and the erosion of democracy to show how our freedoms are far from secure. What will freedom come to mean in the future, in a world that seems increasingly fragile, uncertain and insecure?
