WHAT IS LIBERALISM? - Debate between Helena Rosenblatt and Dan Klein

Where do the basics of liberal ideas come from? Is it correct to see an original political liberalism in Adam Smith’s “The Wealth of Nations” or in the rebellion against Louis XVI that started the French Revolution? And what does liberalism mean today? These are some of the deeper questions of today’s ideological divisions and debates.
Take part of an ideological debate between Helena Rosenblatt, professor at City University of New York and author of “The Lost History of Liberalism: From Ancient Rome to the Twenty-First Century”, and Dan Klein, professor at George Mason University.
