Reviews

Although Liberalism as Idealogy is a Festschrift, it is not the banal celebration sometimes associated with the genre. In this case the contributors make good their ebullient praise for the dedicatee with the intellectal nergy and analytical creativity with which they fill the volume's pages. Robert A. Ballingall, History of Polical Thought
