The Free And Prosperous Commonwealth: An Exposition Of The Ideas Of Classical Liberalism (1962) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781169830004)

The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth: An Exposition of the Ideas of Classical Liberalism is a book written by Ludwig von Mises and published in 1962. The book is a comprehensive exposition of the ideas of classical liberalism, which is a political philosophy that emphasizes individual freedom, private property, and free markets. Mises argues that classical liberalism is the only political philosophy that can ensure individual freedom and prosperity. He explains that classical liberalism is based on the idea that individuals have the right to pursue their own goals and interests, and that the government's role should be limited to protecting these rights. Mises also discusses the economic principles of classical liberalism, including the importance of free markets, the benefits of competition, and the dangers of government intervention in the economy. He argues that free markets are the most efficient way to allocate resources and create wealth, and that government intervention in the economy can lead to inefficiencies and economic stagnation. Overall, The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth is a seminal work in the field of classical liberalism and provides a thorough and compelling defense of the philosophy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, economics, or the role of government in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
