An Uncertain Legacy brings together today's leading scholars who have devoted their lives to the study of liberty. In charting the intellectual pilgrimage of an idea, these authors transport us from liberty's Roman exemplars and medieval philosophers to its treatment in every subsequent period down to our own day. A final essay by noted political theorist John Gray examines the legacy of liberty in the twentieth century in light of the work of F. A. Hayek.
