The story of liberty is the story of how that model triumphed. How it was enshrined in a series of landmark victories-the Magna Carta, the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, the U.S. Constitution-and how it came to defeat every international rival.Today we see those ideas abandoned and scorned in the places where they once went unchallenged. Inventing Freedom is a chronicle of the success of Anglosphere exceptionalism. And it is offered at a time that may turn out to be the end of the age of political freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526913261856,"sku":"NEW006223174X","price":15.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61S7ggW-26S.jpg?v=1777223842","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/inventing-freedom-how-the-english-speaking-peoples-made-the-modern-world-006223174x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
