"The Anglo-American Tradition of Liberty - a view from Europe", João Carlos Espada
Reviews
'After working for Portugal's socialist president Mario Soares, Joao Carlos Espada studied at Oxford with several eminent liberal thinkers. From this unique vantage point, he has written a fascinating and eminently readable account of the Anglo-American liberal tradition and its divergences from Continental ways of thinking. Professor Espada's intellectual seriousness, fair-mindedness, and love of liberty shine through every page of this work.'
Marc F. Plattner, Editor, Journal of Democracy, USA
‘A personal, perceptive and illuminating journey by a continental European admirer of the Anglo-American tradition of liberty. He conducts us, both intellectually and personally through the lives and works of some of its greatest thinkers. A delightful book.’
Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies, University of Oxford, Isaiah Berlin Professorial Fellow, St Antony's College, Oxford & Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University'
