"1968: Liberty or Its Illusion"?
In Prospect magazine, a symposium on the legacy of May 1968:
Many 68ers now feel ambivalent about their heritage. Was too much of value discarded? Were the hippies just carriers of a new strain of capitalism? What was the silent majority thinking?
The symposium features contributions from Brian Appleyard, Geoff Dyer, Timothy Garton Ash, Anthony Giddens, Michael Ignatieff, Pico Iyer, PJ O'Rourke, Roger Scruton, Slavoj Zizek, and more than two dozen others.
