Thank you for writing this up! What an efficient review. The authors posit the basic freedoms are to move, to disobey, to rearrange social ties. "To move" is the most basic one, from which the others derive; obviously has implications for our current society. - The space in between the famous dynasties and empires is when people were probably least oppressed etc, and more work should be devoted to that. - Humans always CHOOSE how their communities are shaped deliberately. Added to my worldbuilding file for future reference; and the "freedom to move" concept, as you say, has a lot of real-world implications...
