The book ""Economics of Liberty"" by John Beverley Robinson was published in 1916 and is a comprehensive study of the principles of classical liberalism and free-market economics. The author argues that the government should have minimal involvement in the economy and that individuals should be allowed to make their own economic decisions without interference from the state.Robinson begins by discussing the origins of economic theory and the ideas of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. He then explains the principles of free trade, competition, and the division of labor, and how these concepts lead to economic growth and prosperity.The author also examines the role of government in the economy, arguing that government intervention often leads to inefficiencies and unintended consequences. He discusses the dangers of protectionism, subsidies, and price controls, and advocates for a laissez-faire approach to economic policy.Throughout the book, Robinson emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and property rights, arguing that these are essential for economic growth and prosperity. He also discusses the role of entrepreneurship and innovation in driving economic progress.Overall, ""Economics of Liberty"" is a seminal work in the classical liberal tradition and provides a clear and concise explanation of the principles of free-market economics. It remains relevant today, as debates about the role of government in the economy continue to be central to political discourse.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
