Description

Freedom and Organization explores the complex interplay between two fundamental forces shaping 19th-century history: freedom and control. From the aftermath of Napoleon's defeat to the lead-up to World War I, Russell examines how these opposing ideals influenced key events and figures.

This thought-provoking account features lively portraits of influential thinkers, including Malthus, Mill, Bentham, and Marx, as well as in-depth looks at the founding of democracy in America and the struggle with slavery. Through his analysis, Russell sheds light on the ideas of Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln.

Written by one of the 20th century's most renowned thinkers, this book offers a unique perspective on the tumultuous period between 1814 and 1914.
