Liberalism: further reading

This essay benefited from the insights and assistance of a great many people. In particular, Alexander Zevin of City University of New York, author of a forthcoming independent history of this newspaper ("The World According to The Economist", to be published by Verso Books), was an outstanding guide to our history.

The essay has drawn on the following books and articles:
