Liberalism after Communism
Jerzy Szacki
"Deserves to be widely read."
- Ian Kearus, University of Sheffield
Szacki defines liberalism in an Eastern European context
- in terms of its historical background, the lack of
a liberal tradition in the region, and its incompatibility
with the Communist state.
