| Details: |
Virginia Postrel redefines the political and cultural categories that shape our world, persuasively arguing that current struggles over such important issues as trade, biotechnology, immigration, education, and the environment represent a clash not between "left" and "right, " but between "dynamism" and "stasis." A passionate proponent of the dynamic approach, she analyzes how true progress stems from the ideas of individuals unencumbered by nostalgia for the past or the static assumptions and bureaucratic rules of the present. |
