This volume makes a compelling case for the continued relevance and
significance of Herbert Spencer (1820-1904), one of the foremost
intellectuals of the Victorian era whose work now tends to be
regarded as being of purely historical interest. One of the
originators of the evolutionary classical liberal or libertarian
approach exemplified later by F. A. Hayek, Spencer engaged with
such issues as the relationship between the individual and the
state; the nature of majoritarian democracy; the legitimacy of
private property; the consequences of the transition from
relatively simple, feudal communities to complex, industrial
societies; and the causes of war and the prospects of international
peace. For him the future was individualist. However, as the scope
of state action expanded and classical liberal ideas became
increasingly marginalised during the course of his life, Spencer
grew ever more pessimistic about the future prospects for liberty.
