Description:

Review\n"If you wish to have your mind and spirit sharpened on the grinding stone of prescient, progressive and profound insights, Liberties is THE place to be. Change starts in the mind.” Wynton Marsalis
"This is a murderers row of writers whose voices have never been more important, more inspiring or more comforting than they are in Liberties.” Aaron Sorkin
"Liberty is under threat and Liberties girds us for the fight.” George Stephanopoulos
“Liberties sure is needed in these times.” Bill Maher
"It's like a meteor of intelligent substance that landed on my desk.” Thomas L. Friedman
"The appearance of Liberties in the middle of the pandemic was a rare source of light. Its intellectual independence is as admirable as its intellectual seriousness, and it also has style and wit. Something was missing in our culture, and here it is.” Tina Brown
“Liberties: Some serious food for thought” Christiane Amanpour
“Liberties is full of observation, insight, and something you don’t find everywhere, something you don’t see coming: a kind of optimism, which shows clearly in its independent and all-inclusive mien.” Isaac Mizrahi\n“A Meteor of Intelligent Substance”
“Something was Missing in our Culture, and Here It Is”
"Liberties is THE place to be. Change starts in the mind.”
