التهديدات غير القسرية للحرية الأكاديمية والسياسية والاقتصادية

States and institutions, whether in traditional authoritarian or ostensibly democratic societies, explicitly restrict freedoms in many ways. However, there are also more subtle forms in which authorities and cultural forces undermine individuals' choices in ways that do not, at first glance, appear coercive. This book brings together distinguished scholars to examine the hidden constraints on academic, political, and economic freedoms from multiple angles, offering surprising and timely new insights. Working across the fields of philosophy, economics, law, health, science, the arts, and media, pioneers from across the disciplines uncover threats to freedom within avowedly liberal and democratic institutions and cultures. Their insightful essays, both analytical and historical, underscore how economic inequality, academic inertia, media control, racism, and gender roles undermine the possibility of human flourishing. By considering these multiple non-coercive threats, they highlight the complex concept of freedom. In its lively and thoughtful style, this book offers a provocative and urgent understanding of the often overlooked forces that constrain our choices. The book includes contributions from David Bromwich, Eric Foner, Robert Gooding-Williams, Michael Ignatieff, Laura Kipnis, Anya Shiffrin, and Joseph E. Stiglitz, and Jeffrey R. sixty. In an article and an interview with the book's editors, Noam Chomsky addresses the neoliberal attack on academic freedom.
