Editorial Reviews

Review

Historians who are classical liberals constitute a minority within a field that seems to be dominated by progressive, Marxist, feminist, postmodernist, and conservative schools. So it is refreshing and enlightening to have this insightful scholarly collection from some articulate classical liberal historians. Tackling such issues as historiography, the nature of capitalism, the role of social history, feminism, civil rights, civil liberties, and the origins of sustained economic growth, they reinvigorate a classical liberal approach to these profound historical questions. -- Jeff Hummel, San Jose State University

This is one of the freshest and most stimulating efforts to rethink the premises of modern historiography to appear in many years. While paying due respect to the collective and material forces that professional historians have come to regard as the principal drivers of historical change, the authors in this volume make a different commitment—to the priority of liberty and the dignity and agency of the individual person—in their accounts of the human past. The paths opened here by these authors are full of promise. May their enterprise flourish, and their efforts bear abundant fruit, and multiply. -- Wilfred M. McClay, University of Oklahoma

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Phil Magness is a political and economic historian of the "long" 19th century U.S. (1787-1920). His work aims to foster our understanding what Tocqueville and Bastiat described as two of the main policy problems in early American government: Slavery and Tariffs.

Magness' interest in abolitionism encompasses the works of the anti-slavery constitutionalist faction of Gerrit Smith and Lysander Spooner, as well as the little-studied yet historically important black pamphleteer & man of letters John Willis Menard. He is also a specialist in the history of the colonization movement and related attempts to resettle freed slaves abroad, particularly during the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's presidency. His work on trade and tax policy examines the tariff as a problem of political economy in the 19th century U.S., and covers the founding era through the adoption of the Income Tax in 1913 when tariffs ceased to be used as a primary revenue-generating policy.
