Freedom and Economic Order

Capitalism and Socialism in Theory and Practice

By: Linda C. Raeder

Freedom and Economic Order is the second of three volumes comprising a comprehensive study of freedom and American society. The book explores the economic dimension of freedom as historically conceived within American constitutional order and examines the two major modern economic paradigms, capitalism and socialism, from both utilitarian and moral perspectives. Topics include the theory and practice of both capitalism (the market process) and socialism (the planned economy); the Marxist critique of capitalism; the conceptions of justice and social justice correlative to capitalism and socialism, respectively; and the ethics of wealth redistribution. Volume I, Freedom and Political Order, examines the meaning of freedom and the legal and political dimensions of American liberal democracy. Volume III, Limited Government and the Death of God, explores the historical rise of freedom in the West and various modern and postmodern threats to the preservation and vitality of the free society.

John Stuart Mill and the Religion of Humanity

By: Linda C. Raeder

John Stuart Mill and the Religion of Humanity introduces material that requires significant reevaluation of John Stuart Mill's contribution to the development of the liberal tradition." "John Stuart Mill and the Religion of Humanity examines the religious thought and aspirations of the philosopher and shows that, contrary to the conventional view of Mill as the prototypical secular liberal, religious preoccupations dominated his thought and structured his endeavors throughout his life. For a proper appreciation of Mill's thought and legacy, the depth of his animus toward traditional transcendent religion must be recognized, along with the seriousness of his intent to found a nontheological religion to serve as its replacement." --Book Jacket.

Limited Government and the Death of God

The Rise and Fall of Freedom

By: Linda C. Raeder

Limited Government and the Death of God: The Rise and Fall of Freedom is the third of three volumes comprising a comprehensive study of freedom and American society. Volume III explores the historical rise of the free society in the West and especially its relation to the religious worldview that inspired the quest for individual freedom. It further examines the threats to the free society posed not only by the modern ideological movements but related paradigms such as Progressivism, Postmodernism, and Multiculturalism. Volume I, Freedom and Political Order, examines the meaning of freedom and the legal and political dimensions of American liberal democracy. Volume II, Freedom and Economic Order, examines the relation of individual freedom to the economic arrangements of society. It explores both the theory and practice of the competing paradigms of capitalism and socialism and the moral frameworks—justice and social justice—correlative to them.

Freedom and Political Order

Traditional American Thought and Practice

By: Linda C. Raeder

Freedom and Political Order explores the traditional meaning of freedom in the American experience and its relation to other characteristically American values and institutions. Such an exploration necessarily touches upon relevant historical experience, but it extends beyond a history of freedom toward wider fields of inquiry, including and especially, moral and political philosophy. Political philosophers throughout the ages have been concerned with a question of perennial significance to human experience: what are the rules that ought to govern human relations in society or, less formally, how should human beings treat one another? Such a question is unavoidable for human beings. Its necessity derives from the nature of things, from the fact that human existence is essentially social or political existence. The rare Robinson Crusoe aside, ‘No man is an island’, and from birth to death every person encounters other human beings with whom he must interact. Every society has thus established rules regarding the ethical treatment of human beings, rules embodied in the various moral, legal, and political orders developed within human history. The formal discipline of political philosophy aims to explore and identify the proper substance of such rules. The philosophy of freedom elaborated herein is the traditional American response to the perennial question of politics so conceived. A comprehensive exploration of American political philosophy is by nature a work of scholarship. The book carefully examines the meaning of freedom and other natural rights; their relation to the Rule of Law; the nature and purpose of government as embodied in the American social contract; the relation between the liberal and democratic elements of American liberal democracy; and various assumptions underlying the Framers’ constitutional design. The study, however, is not intended exclusively for professional scholars but also for the general public and students of American government and society. Thomas Jefferson once pointedly warned that “a nation that expects to be ignorant and free . . . expects what never was and never will be.” The work thus aims not only to bring to light the fundamental values and institutions of traditional American society but, in so doing, assist in their preservation.
