The Free And Prosperous Commonwealth

The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth: An Exposition of the Ideas of Classical Liberalism is a book written by Ludwig von Mises in 1962. The book is a comprehensive analysis of classical liberalism, a political and economic philosophy that advocates individual freedom, limited government intervention, and free markets. In the book, Mises provides a detailed explanation of the principles of classical liberalism, including the importance of private property rights, the role of the market in allocating resources, and the dangers of government intervention in the economy. He argues that a free and prosperous society can only be achieved through the protection of individual rights and the elimination of government interference in the market.Mises also addresses the criticisms of classical liberalism, such as the claim that it leads to inequality and social injustice. He argues that these criticisms are based on a misunderstanding of the philosophy and that classical liberalism, in fact, promotes equality and justice by allowing individuals to pursue their own interests and create wealth.Overall, The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth is a seminal work in the field of classical liberalism and provides a clear and concise explanation of the philosophy's core principles and values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
