Zygmunt BaumanIn a nutshell: if freedom visualised by the Enlightenment and demanded/promised by Marx was made to the measure of the ideal producer; the market-promoted freedom is designed with the ideal consumer in mind; neither of the two is "more genuine" than the other.
Zygmunt BaumanFreedom is the slogan of the strong, who feel self confident, self sufficient to do it alone.
