2013The Trouble with Liberalism
When Security and "Social Justice" take Precedence over Freedom
Everything rises and falls on freedom. Individual fulfilment depends on it, as does prosperity and the promotion of morality. Where there is no freedom, there is no justice, there is no dignity, the community lacks creativity, new solutions to problems, progress and dynamism. Freedom is at the root of everything. So why is it so difficult to inspire people to embrace freedom? Is it because of liberalism’s inadequate political personnel? Is it poor communication? Or is it perhaps the nature of liberal philosophy itself? Karen Horn has brought together a wide range of texts, some new, some classic, whose authors attempt to provide answers to these questions and to restate the key messages of liberalism.
