The New Liberty
Six talks about survival and justice in a changing world by Ralf Dahrendorf , Director of the London School of Economics, and a former Commissioner of the EEC.
2: The Liberal Option
We are faced with enormous problems affecting our survival. Can we solve them only by entrusting more power to central authorities? That might ensure our survival. but at the expense of the basic qualities of a free society - of justice.
Professor Dahrendorf argues that there is a liberal option: we can improve our social structures, which at present are enemies of progress because they prevent us from using our full potential.
