The Book of Freedoms : A Discussion of Economic Freedom and the Freedom from Want

By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Freedom as a philosophical concept is the right to simply be. This extends to individual and collective rights, and the rights extended for political and religious freedom.

Economic freedom is not an easy concept to define, with varying perspectives and market rights. The freedom from want, however, is a solid concept delineated in Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" speech in 1941 in which he states that freedom from want entails "economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants-everywhere in the world." This book explores the scope of economic freedom from the rule of law and equality to human security and the responsibility to protect, plus much more.
