Taking us from Montaigne to Mill, and from Middlemarch to the civil rights movement, Adam Gopnik argues that liberalism is not a form of centrism, nor simply another word for free markets, nor merely a term denoting a set of rights. It is something far more ambitious: the search for radical change by humane measures. Gopnik shows us why liberalism is one of the great moral adventures in human history--and why, in an age of autocracy, our lives may depend on its continuation.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717754704030,"sku":"ADS-9781529401585","price":22.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529401585.jpg?v=1776129525","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529401585","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
