Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power- we think were free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government interference. But true freedom isnt so much freedom from, as freedom to - the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible.Drawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes - the habits of mind - that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish.
