Identifying a Free Society: Conditions and Indicators de Milan Zafirovski

Identifying a Free Society: Conditions and Indicators: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, cartea 107

Autor Milan Zafirovski
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 mai 2017
In Identifying a Free Society Milan Zafirovski offers a holistic sociological approach to modern free society as a total social system. The book examines the main conditions and indicators of modern free society such as democracy, a free economy, a free culture, and a free civil society, hence political, economic, cultural, and individual liberty entwined with equality and justice. It provides specific and aggregate free-society estimates for Western and related societies based on a variety of objective rankings, data, and reports. On the basis of these estimates, the book identifies liberal societies as the freest as a whole, and their anti-liberal opposites as the most unfree.
