Biografie & Werdegang des Autors
Johan Norberg was born in Stockholm in 1973 and studied the history of ideas at Stockholm University, where he earned an M.A. His intellectual turn was notable: drawn in youth to anarchism, he later concluded that classical liberalism took individual freedom more seriously. Early books on Vilhelm Moberg and the history of Swedish liberalism established him as a young writer with a strong interest in ideas, institutions, and the long arc of modernity.
