The New Freedom

Gelesen von Ben Adams

(4,25 Sterne; 4 Bewertungen)

The book is not a discussion of measures or of programs. It is an attempt to express the new spirit of our politics and to set forth, in large terms which may stick in the imagination, what it is that must be done if we are to restore our politics to their full spiritual vigor again, and our national life, whether in trade, in industry, or in what concerns us only as families and individuals, to its purity, its self-respect, and its pristine strength and freedom. (From the Preface) - Summary by Woodrow Wilson (5 hr 42 min)

Good book for left or right wing

(4 Sterne)

well read and well argued I'm a right-winger and the book didn't change my view but its well put together arguments.

Excellent book.

The outstanding way that Ben Adams reads this book, brings it alive. Many of the thoughts in this book are useful today.

(4,5 Sterne)

Fascinating historical read, and still relevant today, to both sides of the "political aisle".
