Liberalism at Large : The World According to the Economist

Since 1843, the Economist has been the single most devoted and  influential champion of liberalism anywhere in the world. But what  exactly is liberalism, and how has the liberal message evolved? Liberalism at Large  presents a history of liberalism on the move, confronting the  challenges that classical doctrine left unresolved: the rise of  democracy, the expansion of empire, the ascendancy of finance. Today,  neither economic crisis at home, nor permanent warfare abroad, has  dimmed the Economist’s belief in unfettered markets, limited  government and a free hand for the West. Confidante to the powerful,  emissary for the financial sector, portal onto international affairs,  the bestselling news weekly shapes the world its readers and the rest of us inhabit. This is the first critical biography of one of the  architects of a liberal world order now under increasing strain.
