Description
Free Speech: A Global History from Socrates to Social Media by Jacob Mchangama explores the complex and often contentious history of free speech, tracing its development from ancient Athens to the present day. Through a meticulously researched and deeply humane narrative, Mchangama reveals how the free exchange of ideas has underpinned scientific and literary achievement, and how it has enabled the advancement of civil rights across the globe.
