Exploring the parallels between U.S. Manifest Destiny and South African apartheid, the first essay, "On Freedom and Equality," delves into the roots of an exclusionary concept of freedom. It contrasts this with the universal ideals of freedom and equality championed by figures like Mahatma Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. The book argues that the divisions between capitalist and developing nations echo historical racial segregation, emphasizing that overcoming this global segregation is essential for advancing democracy and human rights worldwide.
