About this ebook
Freedom's Retreat Europe explores a pressing question: Are modern European regulations, intended to protect democracies, inadvertently eroding individual liberties? The book examines parallels between contemporary regulatory controls and historical methods used by authoritarian regimes, challenging the assumption that more regulation always equals greater security. It delves into areas like the expansion of surveillance technologies and increasing constraints on freedom of speech under the guise of combating hate speech and misinformation, and the impact of economic regulations on innovation. A key insight is how seemingly benevolent regulations can have unintended consequences, potentially stifling European democracy.
The book provides a political analysis of European history by grounding its arguments in rigorous historical context, comparing current regulatory trends with past authoritarian practices. It progresses by first introducing core concepts, then examining surveillance technologies, restrictions on free speech, and economic regulations, ultimately offering recommendations for safeguarding liberties. This approach provides a unique perspective on how regulatory creep can subtly erode individual freedoms, making it valuable for academics, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of European democracy.
