Description
Today should be a Golden Age for free speech - with technology providing more ways of communicating ideas and opinions than ever before. Yet we're actually witnessing a growing wave of restrictions on freedom of thought and expression. In Having Your Say a variety of authors - academics, philosophers, comedians and more - stress the fundamental importance of free speech, one of the cornerstones of classical liberalism. And they provide informed and incisive insights on this worrying trend, which threatens to usher in a new, intolerant and censorious era.
