Bragg proposes that true, inclusive and democratic freedom is founded on the three principles of liberty, equality and accountability. He builds his argument for the importance of each pillar, showing how neoliberalism has eroded them, but most particularly that of accountability. Deregulation has given free rein to corporate exploitation of people and the environment, and Bragg sketches his ideas for redressing the balance. It could have been three times as long and still too short. Wonderful! Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

We live in a world where strongman politics are rising; neo-liberalism has hollowed out political parties; and corporations have undermined democracy. Ordinary voters feel helpless to effect change, resulting in outbreaks of populist anger, and traditional platforms for debate are losing their viability as readers source information online. In this short and vital polemic, progressive thinker and activist Billy Bragg argues that accountability is the antidote to authoritarianism, and that without it, we can never truly be free. He shows us that Freedom requires three dimensions to function: Liberty, Equality, and Accountability - and the result is a three dimensional space in which freedom can be exercised by all.

En esta época convulsa y compleja, en la que el capitalismo financiero, armado de fake news, autoritarismo y neoliberalismo, amenaza con invadir las parcelas más íntimas del ciudadano y redefinir nuestra vida, Billy Bragg señala los tres pilares sobre los que debería edificarse la libertad para que esta no sea una mera cáscara vacía: la franqueza, la igualdad y la responsabilidad. Para protegernos de la irrupción de la tiranía, hemos de ir más allá de una idea unidimensional de lo que significa la libertad, capaz de restaurar el poder individual engendrado por sus tres dimensiones.
