About this product

Product Information

Restoring the ideas and ideals of classical liberalism, this collection shows how its contemporary exponents defend such pillars of free societies as individual rights, human dignity, market processes, and the rule of law. The quest for freedom has always been as much a battle of ideas as it is a popular struggle. Classical liberal pioneers such as John Locke and Adam Smith stressed the inherent worth of the individual, inalienable rights, and the benevolent consequences of the cooperative, peaceful pursuit of one's own happiness. These ideas became the intellectual scaffolding for much of the West's most fundamental institutions and achievements. Yet after its 19th-century high-water mark, classical liberalism lost much of its passion, focus, and popular support. Intellectual trends increasingly began to support coercive egalitarianism, empire, and central planning at the expense of individual liberty, personal responsibility, private property, natural law, and free institutions. Yet this book indicates that the eclipse of classical liberalism by contemporary liberalism and conservatism is passing.

    Considering the item was shipped from the U.S. and arrived in 12 days I say that's pretty good. The seller dispatched very quickly after receiving my order, the item was well packed and exactly as described. I really can't fault this service. Highly recommended and will be happy to use again.

    Very pleased with my purchase, which has arrived today, much earlier than expected and which was a pleasant surprise. It was well priced, included the postage, and was exactly as advertised. (Listed as new, it was still in its shrink wrapping.) I have bought from the seller before and the service has always been excellent - this purchase being no exception to that - and I’d happily buy from them again.
