Where Next? The Past, Present, and Future of Classical Liberalism Lead Essay (Cato Unbound Book 42012)

Where Next? The Past, Present, and Future of Classical Liberalism Lead Essay (Cato Unbound Book 42012)

David Friedman
3/5 ( ratings)
Classical liberalism has a rich and complex history. At Cato Unbound, we hope its future will be likewise. This month's issue takes stock of the past while proposing to examine the way forward, too: What's next in classical liberal political thought?

Matt Zwolinski and John Tomasi propose a straightforward but controversial approach: Market liberals, they say, can beat the advocates of social justice at their own game. If we recognize a just social system by the material rewards it extends to the least well-off among the working class, then we should recognize that the winner is… free-market capitalism. And the defenders of the free market ought not to be shy about it.

Are they right? If so, how do we make the case to a skeptical public? Joining us are two eminent scholars of the classical liberal tradition, Roderick Long and David Friedman, and one rising new star, Alexander McCobin, now a graduate student in political philosophy and the Executive Director of Students For Liberty.
