Sobre IBD

Dictators and Dangerous Ideas takes aim at a wide range of authoritarian governments andreligious bodies. After the apparent triumph of democratic capitalism with the collapse of theSoviet Union in 1991, democratic capitalism is now floundering world-wide. Several new kindsof threats to it have arisen, both internally and externally, and there looms ahead of us a freshstruggle for our laws and liberties and a liberal international order. Paul champions and exercisesfreedom of expression, without fear or favour.All the pieces in this book, with the exception of five speeches printed here for the first time, werepublished in various newspapers and magazines over the past three years, since the publication ofOpinions and Reflections. They are arranged in chronological rather than thematic order.
