Description

Adolph Lowe, a scholar of political economics, has written a broad and philosophical work examining freedom, its costs, and the conditions - economic and political under which it can be established. His book asserts that Western society is in the midst of a revolutionary transformation and that unless a new framework is built to replace traditional constraints, this cultural upheaval will result in the breakdown of the order, stability and freedom which have been the foundation of modern Western society. His arguments should interest economists, economic historians, political economists and scientists, and economic philosophers.

Reviews

Adolph Lowe's book on freedom is a tract for our times, the wise testimony of one of the economists worthy of being called a worldly philosopher. It is a tough-minded analysis of the conditions needed for freedom in the modern age. I recommend it for everyone who is not afraid to wrestle with the future.-Robert Heilbroner, Professor of Economics, The New School for Social Research
