This impressive book brings together four essays, which along with
an insightful introduction from Charles Rowley, provide a robust
defence of the concept of classical liberalism in modern 'civil'
society. In the first essay, Douglas Rasmussen and Douglas Uyl
discuss the basic approaches and principles of liberalism in the
post-modern age and show how a moral philosophy can serve to
support a political philosophy. They supply a clear, fundamental
defence of liberalism in an era which has become sceptical of its
doctrines. This is followed by Peter Ordeshook's authoritative
analysis of the foundations of democracy, in relation to the demise
of communist ideology, particularly in the former Soviet Union.
Paul Rubin then examines, from a libertarian perspective, the
differing methods and degrees of success of adapting contract law
in Russia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland in the wake of
political change. Finally, Mwangi S. Kimenyi provides an original
study of highly centralized, unitary systems of government and the
breakdown of civil society in Sub-Saharan Africa. He argues
persuasively that institutional reform involving decentralization
and federalism can better accommodate ethnic diversity in the area.
With contributions from some of the most eminent scholars in the
field, Classical Liberalism and Civil Society provides a rigorous
justification of classical liberal polity.
