The Measurement of Freedom

Abstract

Philosophers and political theorists have presented us with a dazzling variety of views on freedom but, after more than two thousand years of discussion, general agreement as to the correct meaning of the concept appears to be as far off as ever. What Abraham Lincoln said almost a century ago is still true: the world has never had a good definition of the word liberty.
