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 and published in 1962. The book is a comprehensive exposition of the principles of classical liberalism, which emphasizes individual freedom, free markets, and limited government intervention in the economy. In the book, Mises outlines the historical development of classical liberalism and its philosophical foundations, including the importance of property rights, the rule of law, and the role of the state in protecting individual liberty. He argues that classical liberalism is the most effective system for promoting economic growth, social harmony, and individual well-being. Mises also addresses criticisms of classical liberalism, including accusations of selfishness and greed, and argues that these criticisms are unfounded. He argues that a free market system promotes cooperation and mutual benefit, and that government intervention in the economy only serves to distort market signals and create inefficiencies. Overall, The Free and Prosperous Commonwealth is a seminal work in the field of classical liberalism, providing a clear and persuasive defense of its principles and their relevance to contemporary society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, economics, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
