Quotation of the Day…

(Don Boudreaux)

… is from page 235 of my colleague Peter Boettke’s 2017 paper “Rebuilding the Liberal Project,” as this paper is reprinted in Pete’s 2021 book, The Struggle for a Better World:

Liberalism is liberal. It is an emancipation philosophy, and a joyous celebration of the creative energy of diverse people near and far. The liberal order is about a framework of rules that cultivates that creativity and encourages the mutually beneficial interaction with others of great social distance – overcoming such issues as language, ethnicity, race, religion, and geography.
