Beyond Classical Liberalism 1st Edition

Grab a fresh perspective on one of the most influential political traditions with Beyond Classical Liberalism, 1st Edition by James Dominic Rooney. This incisive work challenges standard assumptions, tracing how classical liberal ideas have evolved and where they fall short in addressing contemporary social, economic, and democratic challenges.

Rooney combines rigorous political theory with clear, accessible prose to examine markets, individual rights, civic responsibility, and the role of the state. Richly argued and empirically aware, the book maps competing schools of thought and offers thoughtful alternatives that speak directly to current debates—from inequality and regulatory policy to pluralism and global governance. Ideal for students, scholars, policymakers, and informed readers, it bridges academic analysis and real-world relevance.

Why this edition matters: Rooney’s interdisciplinary approach connects historical foundations with modern case studies, making complex ideas practical for classroom use, policy discussions, and civic engagement. The 1st Edition presents a coherent framework for rethinking liberalism in the 21st century and supports rigorous debate across disciplines.

Relevant for readers in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond, Beyond Classical Liberalism is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper, balanced understanding of contemporary political thought.
