Description
Liberty or Equality: The Challenge of Our Times by Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn is a thought-provoking treatise that explores the concept of equality as a political ideal. Von Kuehnelt-Leddihn argues that this idea, when taken to its logical conclusion, can lead to the very thing it seeks to achieve: a total state. In this book, von Kuehnelt-Leddihn presents a compelling case that democracy is not the foundation of liberty, as often believed, but rather the basis for totalitarianism. He examines historical examples, including national socialism, and draws on the old liberal tradition to make his argument. The result is a nuanced understanding of the relationship between power, politics, and freedom. First published in 1952, Liberty or Equality remains a relevant and timely work that challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about political systems.
