They are angry, disgruntled, offended. Why should they have to wear a face mask, get vaccinated or follow new rules on diversity and equality? They should be free to choose. They do not long for a glorified past or the strong arm of the state but argue instead for individual freedoms at all costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOffended Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e by Carolin Amlinger and Oliver Nachtwey sees this new freedom fighter as symptomatic of the rise of a new political current in Western societies – what they call ‘libertarian authoritarianism’. The rise of libertarian authoritarianism is a consequence of the promise of freedom in late modernity: the individual is supposed to be free and self-reliant, but in reality, many people feel powerless in the face of an increasingly complex world, an experience that manifests itself in resentment, anger and hostility towards democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on numerous case studies, the authors paint a vivid portrait of this new social figure of our time, showing how the unbridled pursuit of individual freedom can turn into authoritarian behaviour towards others, threatening the very basis of a free and equal society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47426695037164,"sku":"9781509560851","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509560851.jpg?v=1774767847"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/oliver-nachtwey.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
