Freedom is in danger. With Michel Friedman
Freedom – it is considered non-negotiable, a cornerstone of our democracy, a promise of the modern age. But what if the freedom we consider a given has long since become an illusion? What if freedom is not only being threatened from the outside but also eroded from the inside – by indifference, fear, conformity, and political expediency? How can we defend ourselves against the forces that abuse freedom as an excuse for exclusion, hate and egoism? Commentator and passionate democrat Michel Friedman sheds light on the political, social and individual dimensions of our basic understanding of freedom. He turns his attention to one of the most pressing questions of our time: What is freedom – and how do we defend it? It becomes clear that freedom is not only a right but also a responsibility.
