What’s the price of freedom? On liberal thinking in the age of climate change

Abstract: Some 15 years ago, I had a discussion over lunch with Lord Dahrendorf on the relationship between liberalism and climate change. Something he said that day has become ingrained in my memory as a quotation: “I would rather die as a free man than live as an unfree one.” I guess that’s what you call being principled. In any case, the answer to the question posed in the title that underlies Dahrendorf’s statement is clear and concise. Freedom is priceless.
