Synopsis of How We Invented Freedom and Why it Matters

«How We Invented Freedom and Why it Matters» is the historical-political essay by Daniel Hannan, published by Head of Zeus in English.

For Daniel Hannan, freedom is a specifically British invention; in Britain it was established that the state serves the individual. That idea protected property and contracts, drove industrialisation and capitalism, and with English speakers reached its purest form in the US Constitution.

Daniel Hannan's essay, originally published in 2013, was recognised as Polemic of the Year at the Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2014.

For readers of history, politics and philosophy interested in the British origin of ideas of freedom.
