“The principal argument of The Future of Free Speech is that, when compared with this ‘golden age’ of the late twentieth century, free speech is now ‘in recession.’ The authors are impassioned about this. They lament it at length, and in the final (short) section of the book, they offer what they consider to be a better way ahead. The success (or otherwise) of this book hinges far more on the accuracy and quality of the authors’ account of the present than it does on their proposals for the future (which occupy only its last forty or so pages). Sadly, the authors are unpersuasive. This is not only because of their addiction to jet-setting. It is also due to their treatment being somewhat scattergun and to it being overly one-sided.” (06/24/26)
