Abstract
This paper takes advantage from Mauro Magatti's recent book and it treats of liberty within the context of what is today called 'new progressivism'. New progressivism embod-ies the canons of the globalized economy: it is argued here that it propounds a number of interesting principles. It appears, however, at the same time unable to tackle the funda-mental imbalance of the world economy today, namely its financial excesses. Finally it boils down mainly to a new and extreme form of anti-Statism, which may prove danger-ous. Another limitation comes from its exclusive emphasis on economic problems per se
