Talk:Classical Liberalism

It feels like this page has been co-opted by far-right libertarians. I think it worked better when it focused on the "classical" liberals; i.e. the early definition of the term liberal, with Smith, Mill, etc. rather than trying to fit it too much into modern thought (trying to make it into Austro-Libertarian or the like, which developed much later). UPDATE: I've now rewritten most of it and added substantially to the history section. /Gustavus-Nicolaus

Meh

This ideology was based for it’s time, and people like Washington and the Enlightenment philosophers were hella based. But nowadays it’s outdated especially when considering economics (though Adam Smith opposed landlords which was based)
