Document Summary
Lecture 3 contains first 4 parts of the topic this week. Classical liberal ideas began to pergulate around the world. They became the dominant ideology during and after the industrial revolution. Classical liberal counter ideology was in the process of becoming dominant ideology since: classical liberal ideas then were challenged by liberals who believed that the current ideas don"t coincide with the current world. The debate between liberalism revolved around: personal freedom, limited government, equality of right, consent of the governed (in lecture 3). As we go through revolutions, the concept of who we the people" are becomes wider and wider. Personal freedom means the right to develop to your full potential. It comes access to the means necessary to achieve that potential. You are living in a society where you can achieve your potential (reformed liberal point of view). Reformed liberals would not see gvt as bad guys. It is okay to impose taxes that is progressive.
