About this title

Synopsis

Scholarly attempts to explain the development of liberal individualism over the course of modern history have tended to focus on key principles and doctrines. As a correction, this book shows that as capitalism the theories, doctrines and moral precepts comprising liberal individualism change and evolve, while its vital social function is preserved.
