The Economics of Liberty, written by John Beverley Robinson and first published in 1916, is a classic work in the field of economics. The book is a comprehensive analysis of the principles of classical liberalism, which emphasizes individual freedom, limited government intervention in the economy, and the importance of property rights. Robinson argues that the free market is the most efficient and effective way to allocate resources, and that government intervention in the economy, such as tariffs and subsidies, only serve to distort prices and hinder economic growth. He also advocates for the abolition of monopolies and the protection of competition in the marketplace. In addition to economic theory, Robinson delves into the political and moral implications of classical liberalism. He argues that individual freedom is a fundamental human right, and that the government's role is to protect those rights, rather than infringe upon them. The Economics of Liberty is a seminal work that continues to be studied and debated by economists, political scientists, and philosophers today. Its insights into the nature of the free market and the importance of individual liberty have influenced generations of thinkers and policymakers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
