Series: Ralf Dahrendorf on Class & Society

Originally published in 1975, Ralf Dahrendorf’s Reith Lectures were an important contribution to public debate, exploring as they do the theme of the new liberty and being concerned to refashion liberalism to cope with the problems and tension of contemporary societies. The analysis covers endemic economic problems, such as growth, inflation and development, the complex nature of organizations, and the problems of political representation.

‘He everywhere displays a steady good sense, which manages to combine complete seriousness of purpose with a fierce refusal to believe that any of our problems are insoluble.’ Alan Ryan, New Statesman.
