Name/Title

The Method of Freedom

Description

The book, based on lectures Lippmann delivered at Harvard, outlines a model for economic recovery and social stability under what Lippmann calls a "regime of liberty."

Context

Written during the Great Depression and a time of high anxiety in America.
