Au m\u00e9morial des v\u00e9t\u00e9rans de la guerre de Cor\u00e9e, quelques mots se d\u00e9tachaient d\u2019un mur de granit noir: <em>Freedom is not free<\/em> (\u00abla libert\u00e9 n\u2019est pas gratuite\u00bb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour un jeune Europ\u00e9en, il para\u00eet presque naturel de pouvoir dire ce que nous pensons, nous associer \u00e0 qui bon nous semble, choisir notre m\u00e9tier, cr\u00e9er, poss\u00e9der, circuler, croire ou ne pas croire, rire, voter et contester ceux qui nous gouvernent. Ces libert\u00e9s font tellement partie de notre quotidien qu\u2019elles finissent par se confondre avec le d\u00e9cor. Elles sont pourtant le fruit d\u2019id\u00e9es qui, avant de devenir des institutions, ont d\u00fb \u00eatre pens\u00e9es et d\u00e9fendues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faut-il tol\u00e9rer des opinions que nous jugeons choquantes? Qu\u2019est-ce qui justifie la propri\u00e9t\u00e9 priv\u00e9e? Jusqu\u2019o\u00f9 une majorit\u00e9 peut-elle imposer ses choix aux individus? De John Locke \u00e0 Karl Popper, de Benjamin Constant \u00e0 Alexis de Tocqueville, en passant par Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bastiat, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Hayek, Raymond Aron ou Milton&nbsp;<br>Friedman, des g\u00e9n\u00e9rations de penseurs ont cherch\u00e9 des r\u00e9ponses \u00e0 ces questions et \u00e0 bien d\u2019autres. Ils nous ont l\u00e9gu\u00e9 un vaste corpus intellectuel, devenu le socle sur lequel reposent les soci\u00e9t\u00e9s libres et ouvertes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-le-paradoxe-du-liberalisme\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Le paradoxe du lib\u00e9ralisme<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cependant, un h\u00e9ritage que l\u2019on ne comprend plus finit par s\u2019oublier. De chaque c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9chiquier politique ressurgit aujourd\u2019hui le risque de concentrer le pouvoir, de contr\u00f4ler la parole ou de restreindre l\u2019individu au nom d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eats collectifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A ces menaces s\u2019ajoute un paradoxe propre au succ\u00e8s des soci\u00e9t\u00e9s libres.
