The Future of Liberalism | Mark Littlewood

In this academy course Mark Littlewood sets out his vision for the moral and economic future of liberalism, and outlines why we need it now more than ever.

Classical liberals want freedom, toleration and economic prosperity under the rule of law. Critics would argue they've got human nature all wrong. Some think Classic Liberalism is making a comeback, others think it's out for good. Mark Littlewood makes both the economic and moral case for classical liberalism and dispels many common myths surrounding the ideology.

It seems like the future of liberalism is going to be a note in the history books of the recent past.

This is, quite literally, missing every possible even molecular piece of nuance and context, both imaginable and material. What a disgraceful attempt at seeming to be making a point, let alone a decent point. Utter trash. Completely glossing over colonialism, imperialism, war, corporatism, etc. Just wow. I'm so disappointed.

Wow, I think first time this channel has wasted my time with disingenuous propaganda. Slightly upset.
