Concluding our series where commentators born in 1960 reflect on the social consequences of the 1960s, Matthew Taylor discusses freedom and authority. Did the revolutionary idea of human autonomy go too far towards a strident individualism? In knocking down hierarchy, bureaucracy and paternalism, did the opinion formers of a new generation deny or overlook the binds we need to hold us together?
