The Future of Freedom

Translated into twenty languages, The Future of is a modern classic that uses historical analysis to shed light on the present, examining how democracy has changed our politics, economics, and social relations. Prescient in laying out the distinction between democracy and liberty, the book contains a wide-ranging update of the book's themes.
