David J. Saari, Unknown

Too Much Liberty?

Perspectives on Freedom and the American Dream

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

David Saari provides an extended essay on the nature of freedom in contemporary America, its historical roots, and its present-day manifestations. Drawing on the fields of history, law, politics, business, and philosophy, this wide-ranging study examines three facets of freedom-national freedom, freedom from the state, and freedom within the state-as they have developed in American law, politics, and society. Each of these facets is carefully defined and then applied to such contemporary issues as authority, property, equality, justice, and privacy.
