New Liberalism

This strongly researched and well written book examines the evolution of Liberalism from its early beginnings to its potential future incarnations. The author argues that New Liberalism is the next step in this evolution: the notion that, in order for a society to be maintained and to evolve, it is necessary to take into account Liberal responsibility to future generations. There needs to be realignment in understanding that there is a common humanity that extends to all people on this planet.
