Human Rights and the Reinvention of Freedom

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of freedom in the context of globalization and neo-liberalism, this volume challenges two prevailing myths: the belief that citizens prioritize security over freedom, leading to increased state control and restricted civic liberties, and the notion that freedom equates solely to market freedom and consumer choice. By addressing these misconceptions, the book advocates for a redefined understanding of freedom that transcends simplistic notions of security and consumption, emphasizing the need for a broader perspective on individual liberties in a complex world.
