Liberty and Liberal Order: ‘Saving the Soul’ of Classical Liberalism
ABSTRACT
In light of the onslaught against classical liberal principles that intensified as an outcome of the financial and economic crisis of 2008, the prospects for a liberal order and the best way to advocate for one have become important topics to consider. This conference was intended to discuss different arguments in favor of liberty from classical liberal, conservative, and libertarian perspectives.
