Liberty, Equality, Fraternity
James Fitzjames Stephen
A defense of ordered liberty that impugns John Stuart Mill's famous treatise "On Liberty." The book argues that unlimited freedom, material equality, and an indiscriminate love of humanity lead inevitably to coercion and tyranny. Liberty must be restrained by custom and tradition, equality must be limited to equality before the law, and fraternity must include actual men. Available as an ebook on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and iTunes.
