The Natural Rights We Must Protect

Richard Parker

Challenge, 2017, vol. 60, issue 3, 279-286

Abstract: The author argues that the battle for the natural rights of citizens, including equality and freedom, must be reinvigorated. He reminds us how economic growth coupled with progressive taxes and a growing social safety net protected those rights in the three decades after World War II. Beginning in the 1970s a long period of erosion began, leading to the alarming rise of right-wing populism today. What can be done?
