In this landmark book, Alexander Zevin looks at the development of
modern liberalism by examining the long history of the Economist
newspaper, which, since 1843, has been the most tireless - and
internationally influential - champion of the liberal cause
anywhere in the world. But what exactly is liberalism, and how has
its message evolved? Liberalism at Large examines a political
ideology on the move as it confronts the challenges that classical
doctrine left unresolved: the rise of democracy, the expansion of
empire, the ascendancy of high finance. Contact with such momentous
forces was never going to leave the proponents of liberal values
unchanged. Zevin holds a mirror to the politics - and personalities
- of Economist editors past and present, from Victorian
banker-essayists James Wilson and Walter Bagehot to latter-day
eminences Bill Emmott and Zanny Minton Beddoes. Today, neither
economic crisis at home nor permanent warfare abroad has dimmed the
Economist's belief in unfettered markets, limited government, and a
free hand for the West. Confidante to the powerful, emissary for
the financial sector, portal onto international affairs, the
bestselling newsweekly shapes the world its readers - as well as
everyone else - inhabit. This is the first critical biography of
one of the architects of a liberal world order now under increasing
strain.
