Rethinking Freedom: Why Freedom Has Lost Its Meaning and What Can Be Done to Save It
ISBN: 9781403968722 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the use and abuse of the term 'freedom'.

He concludes that the 'political' is not the answer, and that most of the people interviewed for the book and those like them would be better served by learning the political and social skills necessary to carve out small spaces of freedom in a rationalized world.
