In some ways, the struggle today is quite similar to the struggle of previous centuries. There was always a kind of movement or a pro gression in previous centuries from the struggle first for religious freedom, and then for political freedom, and then civil freedoms, and then finally for economic rights as well, and I think today the real question on the table is the extension of human rights in the economic realm.
I think we can call it ‘a culture of fear’. The paradox of our culture of fear is that the advances in security, far from diminishing fear, tend to have a way of enhancing our fear.
