"It's a free country!", we say when we want to express our own ideas. Easily said, but what really makes a society free? Written in 1859, John Stuart Mill's 'On Liberty' still provides the classic answer. As we enter the third millennium few of our societies would pass Mill's test of true freedom.
George Myerson's lively text:

- Offers a clear and concise summary of the whole book
- Gives close-up explanation of the most important arguments
- Offers a critical appreciation of Mill's contribution to the theory of human liberty
The facts . . . the concepts . . . the ideas . . .
