The Decline of Classical Liberalism

Dr Steve Davies, Education Director at the IEA, traces the decline of classical liberal/libertarian ideas from the mid-19th century through the mid-20th century. He describes how the case for classical liberal ideas grew stale and fell prey to competing ideologies like socialism, fascism, and welfare liberalism. Filmed for the Institute for Humane Studies.
