Ordinary voters feel helpless to effect change, resulting in outbreaks of populist anger, and traditional platforms for debate are losing their viability as readers source information online. In this short and vital polemic, progressive thinker and activist Billy Bragg argues that accountability is the antidote to authoritarianism, and that without it, we can never truly be free. He shows us that Freedom requires three dimensions to function: Liberty, Equality, and Accountability - and the result is a three dimensional space in which freedom can be exercised by all.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>The Three Dimensions of Freedom</i>, a pocket-size, 100-page "pamphlet" on [Bragg's] favorite subject, personal liberty and the responsibilities of citizenship." -- <i>Boston Globe</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Stephen William "Billy' Bragg"</b> is an English singer-songwriter and left-wing activist.
