Profitable Ideas The Ideology of the Individual in Capitalist Development by O'Flynn, Michael ( Author ) ON May-17-2012, Paperback

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.
