It's surprising, or maybe not surprising given political trends in the last few years, that 'liberty' is not something you deem us all to agree on, but 'solidarity'- a word with strong socialist connotations - is. I suppose in a way this strengthens your point about people disagreeing. Looking forward to reading the book anyway.
Hi Sam - you'll see that liberty is snuck into the equality section as 'equal rights' so you'll find lots to agree - but also possibly disagree - with in there. My earlier work on democracy and property rights probably falls into line with your thoughts here and you'll see that throughout. But yes, to get back on brand, you're completely right, we all disagree - that's the point of the book ;)
Bought this book a year ago and found myself using it for my Critical Evaluation Paper regarding Education for Sustainable Development (as an aspiring primary school teacher ^_^). This book got me THINKING for sure about how our world works and how we can be one decision away from conflicts or even a better life. As someone who considered themselves "not very into politics"... well, I guess I am now "into politics", and we all SHOULD be!
