Discussions of the progress of liberty often focus on large historical trends, from the fall of the Roman Empire to globalization and information technology. In his new book, Jim Powell focuses on the individuals who helped freedom to advance. He tells the dramatic life stories of Cicero, Erasmus, Rabelais, Lilburne, Locke, Jefferson, Beethoven, Victor Hugo, Frederick Douglass, Henry David Thoreau, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ayn Rand, Raoul Wallenberg, Martin Luther King, Milton Friedman, and many more. Powell will discuss what we can learn from the ordinary people who changed history with their ideas, their devotion, and their courage.
