Classical Liberalism in the 21st Century: Essays in Honour of Norman Barry

Liberty has underpinned the Judeo-Christian ideal for millennia, and it was the idea of liberty that moulded Europe. Britain, too, was forged by liberty, and British leadership in commerce and politics flowed out of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which established the Bill of Rights and the rule of law. But liberty is constantly under threat from governments and their apologists who seek to over-tax and over-regulate.

This book started life as he papers produced for a conference in honour of Norman Barry, perhaps the best known and most published and respected authority on the subject in Britain. It also includes his last unpublished piece Dworkin's unbounded Legalism.

Other pieces come from Sir Alan Peacock, Martin Ricketts, Charles Rowley, Terence Kealey, Mark Pennington, Julian Morris, Colin Robinson, Elaine Sternberg, David Henderson, Steven Davies and Mustafa Erdogan all well known and influential in the field.
