Reclaiming Liberty (eBook, PDF)

From Crisis to Empowerment

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Based on a reconstruction of earlier liberal conceptions of liberty (the political theories of John Locke & J.S. Mill), this book stresses the empowering nature of liberal freedom and explains why such a concept of liberty better addresses two key contemporary challenges in liberal theory and praxis: wealth redistribution and multiculturalism.
