The New Liberalism

The New Liberalism, emerging in the early 20th century, is a political philosophy that emphasizes a commitment to social justice, economic regulation, and the protection of individual rights. It supports government intervention to address social inequalities and provide public services, aiming to create fair opportunities for all. Unlike classical liberalism, which prioritized minimal government and free markets, New Liberalism recognizes that for true freedom, society must ensure access to education, healthcare, and economic stability. It seeks a balanced approach, combining individual liberty with active measures to promote social welfare and reduce disparities.
