In this impassioned defense of liberty, renowned Harvard law
professor Charles Fried argues that the seemingly unimpeachable
goals of equality and community are often the most potent rivals of
freedom. Declared a "spirited, sophisticated manifesto" by the New
York Times Book Review, Modern Liberty demonstrates how the dense
tangle of government regulations both supports and threatens our
personal liberties. Armed with Fried's insights, readers will be
better able to defend themselves against those on both the left and
the right who would, even with the best intentions, restrict their
liberty.
