More about the book
Challenging the conventional belief that children should have fewer rights due to their vulnerability, this book argues for equal treatment of adults and children based on the premise that adults may be less competent than commonly assumed. It aligns with child liberationist views, advocating for a reevaluation of how society perceives children's capabilities versus adult responsibilities. Through this lens, the author invites readers to reconsider the dynamics of rights and competence across age groups.
