Liberalism Proper and Proper Liberalism - Dietze, Gottfried

Clean, tight, unmarked; spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; This book goes beyond the unsatisfactory definitions of liberalism of today to the classical theory of liberalism as developed by such great thinkers as Montesquieu, Adam Smith, Kant, and Jefferson. The author traces each political thinkers' and philosophers' contributions to the development of liberalism in its original form using both their original writings and the major commentaries on them. He provides a clear, distinct representation of liberalism as these men saw it with an assessment of difficulty in connecting modern day liberalism with this original form.
