Too many of us look at freedom as the absence of state power; we think we're free if we can do and say as we please, and protect ourselves from government interference. But true freedom isn't so much freedom from, as freedom to - the freedom to thrive, to take risks for futures we choose by working together. Freedom is the value that makes all other values possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the work of philosophers and political dissidents, conversations with contemporary thinkers, and his own experiences, Snyder identifies the practices and attitudes - the habits of mind - that will allow us to design a government in which we and future generations can flourish. We come to appreciate the importance of traditions but also the role of institutions. Intimate yet ambitious, this book helps forge a new consensus rooted in a politics of abundance, generosity, and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSnyder's book \u003cem\u003eOn Tyranny\u003c\/em\u003e has inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; \u003cem\u003eOn Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e helps us see exactly what we're fighting for.
