Liberalism After Communism

Více o knize

Focusing on the evolution of liberal ideas in Central Europe, particularly Poland, the study highlights the emergence of liberal thought before and after 1989, an area often overlooked by Western scholars. It critically assesses the democratic opposition to communism and contrasts it with economic liberalism. The author explores how classical liberal concepts adapt in a region lacking a liberal tradition and socioeconomic foundation, revealing their transformation into a constructivist ideology that supports a Utopian approach to capitalism.
