Description
Book Introduction
The 18th century thinker Rousseau said that freedom before the establishment of legal order is not freedom.
Because in such anarchy, the freedom I currently enjoy could be trampled upon by others at any time.
The so-called 'neoliberalism' that is sweeping the globe is claiming to be the representative of 'freedom' by contrasting the word 'freedom' with regulations, laws, and governments.
The reality is that law and government are now ridiculed as symbols of incompetence and oppression.
But is the ‘freedom’ that neoliberalism talks about truly freedom?

To this question, Maurizio Viroli, an Italian political thinker at Princeton University, answers firmly: "Such freedom is fake."
He says that true freedom cannot be possible without the intervention of the law.
Because without the help of the law, the powerful try to make the weak into slaves and servants.
In this book, he expresses his opinion on the space of freedom, warning that the so-called 'freedom' that neoliberalism seeks to spread risks ultimately expanding the space of 'unfreedom' where the strong can 'privately dominate' the weak as they please.
