This major book brings together four essays which rigorously defend
classical liberal philosophy and present a convincing justification
of the minimal state.In Before Resorting to Politics, the first
essay, Anthony de Jasay rejects political solutions, seeks to
de-politicise society and provides an original analysis of liberty,
coercion, the role of chance and deserts in the distribution of
resources. This is followed by Norman Barry's Classical Liberalism
in the Age of Post-Communism, a succinct but comprehensive
reconstruction of classical liberal theory explaining its
implications for law, constitutionalism and public policy. Adam
Smith into the Twenty-First Century by Edwin West shows how Smith's
liberalism - less ambivalent than that of J.S. Mill and his
followers - continues to thrive and is enjoying a revival in the
1990s. In the final essay, Economic Policy in a Liberal Democracy,
Richard E. Wagner offers an approach to welfare economics and
economic policy appropriate for a classically liberal society. The
essays are co-ordinated by an introduction in which Charles K.
Rowley explains why some notable classical liberal scholars have
abandoned classical liberalism and presents a vigorous
philosophical justification for the minimal state. Including essays
by some of the most eminent scholars in the field, The Political
Economy of the Minimal State makes an important and distinguished
contribution to one of the most contentious issues in twentieth
century political economy.
