Economic Liberalism
This monograph appeared first in German in 1902 and was translated ten years afterwards. In the translation the use of material which has appeared since the original publication is obvious. Although dealing primarily with English thought in the seventeenth century, it is of distinct value to anyone wishing to understand the changes in ideas, even in the United States, at the present time. The "economic liberalism" of which Levy writes is not a body of free-trade or laissez-faire formulas, but that deeper attitude toward the life of the individual and of society which was of the very blood and bone of most of the ancestors of the readers of this review. No one can deny that today, both in England and in this country, there has been an almost revolutionary change, not only in our attitude toward specific measures, but in our general viewpoint toward social problems and especially the relation of the individual to the state. This, perhaps, is both essential and desirable. What one cannot fail to regret, however, is that so many of the present generation take an attitude of petulant hostility toward the older views and look on them merely as an expression of blindness and narrow-mindedness. President Hyde of Bowdoin once referred to the "New England conscience" as "butt of our ' jests, but sovereign of our souls."
