John Schwarz says that free-market conservatives have distorted the true meaning of American freedom by overemphasizing individual, personal liberty in a looking out for Number 1 world. Instead, he argues that the true meaning of American freedom, one which the founders enshrined in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, proposes that individual liberty depends on the liberty of all--that a citizen enjoys freedom to the extent that all other citizens can enjoy freedom and that they have a fair chance to exercise that freedom. Schwarz points out, however, that the conditions under which freedom can be realized today have changed, such that a disproportionate number of Americans have limited access to that freedom. In Freedom Reclaimed, Schwarz outlines a program whereby freedom can once again be freedom for all, especially in access to a decent living, personal security, and education. This book challenges the prevailing conservative, free market climate that America finds itself in today.
