Lays out an account of the origins and development of liberal
political and economic theory Includes case studies that cover
thinkers and ideas from the English Civil War through to
liberalism's first encounters with socialism Provides comparative
analysis of distinct intellectual traditions including English
natural rights theory, the Scottish Enlightenment, Victorian-era
utilitarianism and classical political economy Integrates history
of economic thinking into broader milieu of modern political, moral
and natural philosophy Examines secondary literature and research
from a range of disciplinary areas including political theory,
modern intellectual history, economic thought and modern British
history and philosophy This book re-examines the philosophical
roots of classical liberal political economy, as well as addressing
the relationship between the empire and liberalism. It proposes an
interpretive model based upon the interconnection between distinct
theories of natural rights and the harmony of interests. It takes a
fresh look at classical liberalism by exploring economic arguments
in thinkers like Thomas Hobbes, Thomas Paine, John Trenchard and
Thomas Gordon, who are not typically viewed as economic thinkers,
and by highlighting the importance of Bernard Mandeville and Adam
Smith in the development of interest-based liberalism. It also
re-examines lesser-known economic tracts by thinkers such as John
Locke, David Hume and John Stuart Mill in light of their more
well-known political writings. With classical liberal assumptions
still prominent in contemporary debates about economic justice, it
is vital for every democratic citizen to understand the complex
origins and development of the ideas that did so much to shape our
world today.

Cosmopolitanism is one of the most venerable intellectual
traditions in the history of political philosophy. From the ancient
Greek Diogenes' claim to be "a citizen of the world" through to
Kant's Enlightenment vision of a world government and even into our
own time, the idea of cosmopolitanism has stirred the moral
imagination of many throughout history. Arguably the Brexit
referendum result and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 marked
the first major public repudiation of the transnational,
globalizing cosmopolitan ideals that have arguably dominated
politics in the liberal democratic West since the end of the Cold
War. This volume reconsiders cosmopolitanism and its discontents in
the age of Brexit and Trump by bringing together the great thinkers
in the history of political philosophy and contemporary reflections
on the problems and possibilities of international relations, human
rights, multiculturalism, and regnant theories of democracy and the
state.
