This important book outlines the core principles that define a free
society. It provides an accessible introduction to the institutions
and policies necessary to preserve and enhance individual freedom.
The author also sets out the wider benefits of free societies. A
combination of small government, the rule of law, strong private
property rights and free trade enables entrepreneurship to thrive,
delivering large improvements in living standards and lifting
people out of poverty. Furthermore, a society based on ordered
liberty allows free associations and networks of cooperation to
develop that deliver wider social as well as economic benefits.
Attempts to expand the role of government to promote equality or
security at the expense of liberty have tended to end in failure
and oppression. With its clear language, concise arguments and
persuasive real-world examples, this primer is essential reading
for those attempting to bring freedom to countries where the
foundations of a free society are absent, and for those defending
liberty in places where traditional freedoms are under threat.
