Around 600BC King Jehoiakim of Judah burnt a scroll containing a prophecy he did not like. Plato supposedly loathed work by Democritus, another philosopher, and sought to have it destroyed. (Ironically in his dialogues he warns of &ldquo;the danger of becoming misologists&rdquo;&mdash;ie, people who hate reasoning or ideas.) Censorship is still firmly in fashion. In America, the land of the free, youngsters cannot read freely: according to PEN America, a non-profit organisation, more than 4,000 books were banned from schools in the 2023-24 academic year. Governments around the world are keeping an ever-closer close eye on the written word. Since 2013, 6.2bn people across 78 countries have &ldquo;experienced a deterioration of their freedom of expression&rdquo;, according to the Global Expression Report, which tracks free speech. https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=e5d160e2f3ac8f88cf506432f5f8ad6cdcafbd918d90117d3b97c49c8a49576b609f0266ffc0214f67f0fece09dc514f47aa48d8e074da58 Read our list of the eight books that have been pulled from shelves from Italy to Uzbekistan.

Around 600BC King Jehoiakim of Judah burnt a scroll containing a prophecy he did not like. Plato supposedly loathed work by Democritus, another philosopher, and sought to have it destroyed. (Ironically in his dialogues he warns of &ldquo;the danger of becoming misologists&rdquo;&mdash;ie, people who hate reasoning or ideas.)<br> <br> Censorship is still firmly in fashion. In America, the land of the free, youngsters cannot read freely: according to PEN America, a non-profit organisation, more than 4,000 books were banned from schools in the 2023-24 academic year. Governments around the world are keeping an ever-closer close eye on the written word. Since 2013, 6.2bn people across 78 countries have &ldquo;experienced a deterioration of their freedom of expression&rdquo;, according to the Global Expression Report, which tracks free speech. <a data-linkto="https://" href="https://click.e.economist.com/?qs=e5d160e2f3ac8f889e9a932d6acfa9f195620de8d25e7ee6ff5dee36cafe62ec5a61e760cc7c766a513e9ff6f1df0fc35ac21195507ea3a4" style="text-decoration:none;" title="Read our list">Read our list</a> of the eight books that have been pulled from shelves from Italy to Uzbekistan.</p></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><!-- //FULL-WIDTH CONTENT --></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" role="presentation" style="min-width: 100%;
