Mark Davis offers a critical enquiry into the sociology of Zygmunt Bauman, focusing on his English-language writings from the 1960s onwards. The book contributes to sociological debates about modern society by offering an interpretation of Bauman?»s work based on the concept of freedom, in terms of his extensive consideration of consumerism but also in relation to the three great political traditions of conservatism, liberalism and socialism.
