Liberty & Liberalism

Focusing on the principles of individual liberty and economic freedom, this 1887 work presents a robust defense of Adam Smith-style liberalism in Australia. Authored by Bruce Smith, an influential lawyer and politician, it critiques the increasing state interference in personal and economic matters. The book serves as a timely reminder of the importance of private enterprise and property rights, making it a significant contribution to the discourse on liberalism in the context of Australian history.
