Description

Liberalism: The Classical Tradition presents the theoretical and practical arguments for liberalism in the classical tradition. Ludwig von Mises defines liberalism as "the liberal doctrine of the harmony of the rightly understood interests of all members of a free society founded on the principle of private ownership of the means of production." In this book, Mises explores the foundation of liberalism, contrasting it with other conceivable systems of social organization such as socialism and communism. Mises examines the key components of liberalism, including an understanding and appreciation of private property, social cooperation, the freedom idea, ethics and morality, democracy, and the legitimate role of government. He also discusses the differences between liberalism and fascism. This book provides a comprehensive overview of Mises' views on liberalism and its relationship to other forms of social organization. Written by Ludwig von Mises, this volume is part of the Liberty Fund Library of the Works of Ludwig von Mises. It is an important work for anyone interested in understanding the principles of classical liberalism and its application to modern society.
