505 0 You should become a humane true liberal -- Humane
liberalism enriches people -- The new worry about
inequality is mistaken -- And the other illiberal ideas
are mistaken, too.
520 An insightful and passionately written book explaining why
a return to Enlightenment ideals is good for the world.
The greatest challenges facing humankind, according to
Deirdre McCloskey, are poverty and tyranny, both of which
hold people back. Arguing for a return to true liberal
values, this engaging and accessible book develops,
defends, and demonstrates how embracing the ideas first
espoused by eighteenth-century philosophers like Locke,
Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft is good for everyone.
With her trademark wit and deep understanding, McCloskey
shows how the adoption of Enlightenment ideals of
liberalism has propelled the freedom and prosperity that
define the quality of a full life. In her view, liberalism
leads to equality, but equality does not necessarily lead
to liberalism-and the fixation of the left on inequality
is counterproductive. Liberalism is an optimistic
philosophy that depends on the power of rhetoric rather
than arms and on ethics, free speech, and facts for us to
thrive. -- Provided by publisher.
