	Liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, the influence of Keynesianism on Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal has led modern liberalism to be identified with American liberalism and Canadian Liberalism.
		Liberalism can trace its roots back to the humanism that began to challenge the authority of the established church during Renaissance, and the Whigs of the Glorious Revolution in Great Britain, whose assertion of their right to choose their king can be seen as a precursor to claims of popular sovereignty.
		Liberals claim to believe that war can be abolished and world peace and economic prosperity can flourish if all nations loyally adhere to a world organization of all nations (the United Nations Organization), under the same law and equity, and with power to enforce strict observance of all international obligations freely entered into.

	Social liberalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since modern liberalism attained dominance primarily in the United States, it is usually referred to as American liberalism.
		In the United States, the terms "liberal" and " American liberal" are used to denote modern liberalism rather than neoliberalism, libertarianism, or classical liberalism.
		Modern liberalism, also called new liberalism, is very different from the ambiguous term neoliberalism, a name given to various proponents of the free markets and also to some conservative opponents of free markets, such as mercantilistic conservatives, in the late 20th century's global economy.

		While such programs are also advocated by socialism, liberalism does not support the socialist goal of complete equality imposed by state control, and because it is still dedicated to the primacy of the individual, liberalism also strongly opposes communism.

		Illiberal forms of nationalism appear, then, to be parasitic upon modern legal-rational organization, and they are required to work out some kind of compromise with those organizational norms, however much their beliefs may contradict the ideals of modern liberalism.
		This type of nationalism inclines toward Weber's "legal-rational" or formal, universalistic norms and the associated ideas of mass democracy and "the equal rights of the governed" that he identifies with the modern state.

		This is the case of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom and the Senate in the United States of America, as well as in many other federated nations, in which the second or high house is intended to give extra weight to minorities.
		And similar dispositions appear in many modern liberal constitutions and legislations, such as in the Constitution of the State of California (1849): "The legislature will save by law certain portions of the domestic and other goods of every family head in order to avoid its forced selling" (2b).
		In liberal regimes, where the mere notion of "collective thinking" is inconceivable, education must be the exclusive concern of parents, and the government must stay far away from the press, and the electronic media (5d).

	SFU Library - Modern Latin America
		A survey of Latin American history from Independence (1808-24) to the present: post-Independence political collapse and reconsolidation; Latin America in the world trade system and the changing conditions of economic dependency; nationalist reform (Mexico) and socialist revolution (Cuba), liberalism, populism, and the rise of modernizing military.
		Since Latin America has become a largely urban continent (in 2000, the United Nations estimates that 75.4% of the population of Latin America and the Caribbean lives in urban areas [United Nations 1998, 93]), municipal government has become the arena of a emerging set of major challenges and opportunities.
		Immigrants from Latin America represent one of the most rapidly growing segments of the North American population, and our hemisphere is increasingly connected through trade, migration, and cultural influences, yet the world south of the Rio Grande remains largely unknown to the vast majority of Canadians.

		RICHARD MADSEN is professor of sociology at the University of California, San Diego, and one of the United States's best known specialists on modern Chinese society.
		Scholars and statesmen working within the liberal tradition assume that the path to a peaceful and just global community is an expansion of these principles to the world order: the world system is made up of a set of nation states that are like individuals writ large, sovereign and self-determining.
		These liberal assumptions are beginning to be called into question within the West because they correspond less and less to the experience of people anywhere in the modern world.

	Liberal theory of economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The classical liberal line in economics has been taken up by modern economists of the Austrian School, and its combination with the open society and democracy is what is understood as liberalism in most of the world outside the United States.
		The concept of economic liberalism underpinned the move towards a free market economic system, and the subsequent demise of the mercantilist system.
		The theory also states that individuals act primarily out of self-interest, and that allowing them to do so without any restrictions will produce the best results, provided that minimum standards of public information and justice exist.

	The Culture of Classical Liberalism
		American culture for not giving all the citizens of the United States an appreciation of the humane life.
		This essay will make two simple points: that many classical liberals do indeed acknowledge the importance of "culture," though they present no unified front on the matter; and that this cultural awareness is an important part of their respective overall classical-liberal philosophies.
		In fact, McCloskey's article (which anticipates her 1996 book on the same subject) is an excellent example of one classical liberal economist's appreciation for culture, touching intelligently on classical and modern philosophy, the language of virtue, medieval history, and Freudian psychology.

	Classical Liberalism, Libertarianism, and Individualism
		Classical Liberalism can be contrasted with Welfare or Modern Liberalism which has an opposing view and is currently the dominant political philosophy in the United States.
		Welfare Liberalism, by the way, does have a real problem with how to get individuals to do things since there is little incentive to do constructive things if you are given what you need by the government rather than having to work for it yourself.
		The citizen in a Classical Liberal society is recognized as having a moral nature with personal authority over his or her own life.

		I reier to this view as Liberal, however, because it embraces a positive disposition toward modernity, and encourages its members to integrate into the modem nation state in the public sphere, while maintaining strict observance to Orthodox Jewish law in the private domain.
		Naftali Hertz Weizel set the stage for the Liberal response to this dilemma in 1785 by arguing that students should study both religious and secular subjects in the emerging schools of modern judaism (Weizel 1886).
		It too is used to refer to the entire category, yet the Liberals also comprise one of the non-Orthodox movements in the United Kingdom.
