The Idea of Liberty is Western, by Ludwig von Mises, American Affairs, Oct 1950
Related Topics: Liberty, Capitalism, Socialism
Excerpted from chapter 21 of Money, Method, and the Market Process
"There were among the Greek authors also champions of government omnipotence, such as Plato. But the essential tenor of Greek ideology was the pursuit of liberty. ... In denying it to metics and slaves they virtually advocated the despotic rule of an hereditary caste of oligarchs. Yet it would be a grave error to dismiss their hymns to liberty as mendacious." |
