Meer over het boek

Exploring the breadth of John Stuart Mill's writings, this collection features well-known works like "On Liberty" alongside lesser-known essays addressing topics such as education, marriage, and socialism. The text draws parallels between liberal democracy and communism, suggesting that both ideologies emerged from 19th-century aspirations for equality and justice. It argues that, rather than liberating individuals, liberal democracy has evolved into a form of totalitarianism, prompting a critical examination of its implications in contemporary society.
