Would constant nudity in society be progress?
Constant nudity in society may not necessarily be considered progress as it could lead to various social, cultural, and ethical implications. While promoting body positivity and acceptance is important, it is also crucial to respect individual choices and boundaries regarding nudity. A balance between freedom of expression and societal norms is necessary to ensure a harmonious coexistence. Ultimately, progress should be measured by the level of inclusivity, respect, and understanding within a society rather than the extent of nudity.

What would our society be like without news?

This could lead to a lack of awareness and understanding of important issues, potentially resulting in uninformed decision-making and a lack of accountability for those in power. Additionally, without news, there would be a lack of transparency and public discourse, which are essential for a functioning democracy.

The Road to Freedom : Economics and the Good Society
A major reappraisal, by the Nobel-prizewinning economist, of the relationship between capitalism and freedomDespite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world.By this narrative, less regulation and more ‘animal spirits’ capitalism produces not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society - and is therefore morally better. But, in The Road to Freedom Stiglitz asks, whose freedom are we – should we be – thinking about?What happens when one person’s freedom comes at the expense of another’s?Should the freedoms of corporations be allowed to impinge upon those of individuals in the ways they now do?Taking on giants of neoliberalism such as Hayek and Friedman and examining how public opinion is formed, Stiglitz reclaims the language of freedom from the right to show that far from ‘free’ – unregulated – markets promoting growth and enterprise, they in fact reduce it, lessening economic opportunities for majorities and siphoning wealth from the many to the few – both individuals and countries.He shows how neoliberal economics and its implied moral system have impacted our legal and social freedoms in surprising ways, from property and intellectual rights, to education and social media. Stiglitz’s eye, as always, is on how we might create the true human flourishing which should be the great aim of our economic and social system, and offers an alternative to that prevailing today.The Road to Freedom offers a powerful re-evaluation of democracy, economics and what constitutes a good society—and provides a roadmap of how we might achieve it.
