Những Nền Tảng Của Xã Hội Tự Do

by Eamonn Butler, Phạm Nguyên Trường (Translator)

This important book outlines the core principles that define a free society, providing an accessible introduction to the institutions and policies necessary to preserve and enhance individual freedom. The author sets out the wider benefits of free societies and explains how a combination of small government, the rule of law, strong private property rights, and free trade enables entrepreneurship to thrive, delivering large improvements in living standards and lifting people out of poverty. Furthermore, the book elucidates how a society based on ordered liberty allows free associations and networks of cooperation to develop, which produce wider social as well as economic benefits. It also demonstrates how attempts to expand the role of government to promote equality or security at the expense of liberty have tended to end in failure and oppression. With its clear language, concise arguments, and persuasive real-world examples, this primer is essential reading for those attempting to bring freedom to countries where the foundations of a free society are absent, and for those defending liberty in places where traditional freedoms are under threat.

Terrific work, and a book to come back to from time to time. I would put on every secondary school reading list, as a gateway to the truly ‘liberal’ tradition of thought and enquiry that is often misrepresented and maligned.

Es un libro interesante, que nos habla sobre cómo aplicar la libertad en distintos aspectos de la vida: desde la formación misma de la sociedad hasta la organización del Estado, pasando en su relación con el comercio, la globalización y la igualdad.

Un libro interesante para quienes les gusta la política.

yer yer iknadan uzak savunmalar yapsa da güzel bir içeriği var. ayrıca hükümetin nasıl serbest piyasanın tam tersi tarafa gittiğine, özgürlükleri kısıtlayarak hangi sonuçlara varacağına tüm bu olaylar yaşanmadan önce anlatmış, özgürlüğün kısıtlandığı coğrafyalarda nelerin olacağına dair öngörüleri günümüzdeki hükümetin yaptıklarıyla neredeyse birebir örtüşüyordu, bu bakımdan bizin için ekstra anlamlı bir kitap olduğunu düşünüyorum.
