From the Middle Ages to Today’s Libertarian Tent?
SHARE

In the Fall issue of Regulation, there are three articles that delve into the realm of individual liberty. Two of these articles are book reviews that explore the evolution of libertarianism and the impact of the Middle Ages on classical liberalism.

The first book reviewed is “The Individualists” by Matt Zwolinski and John Tomasi. This book offers a comprehensive intellectual history of libertarianism from its inception in the 19th century. The authors present a typology of libertarianism that encompasses a wide range of perspectives, from radical libertarians to classical libertarians. While the book is well-documented and thought-provoking, there is a notable absence of discussion on the work of Anthony de Jasay, a key figure in the critique of the state and advocacy for anarchy.

The review of “The Individualists” concludes with a reflection on the diverse nature of libertarianism and the importance of open dialogue and tolerance within the ideology. The book serves as a valuable guide for navigating the complexities of libertarian thought.

The second book reviewed in this issue is “The Medieval Constitution of Liberty: Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West” by Alexander William Salter and Andrew Young. This book challenges the traditional view of the Middle Ages as a dark and oppressive period by highlighting the decentralized political power that characterized the High Middle Ages. The authors argue that this decentralized structure laid the foundation for the individual liberties we enjoy today.

The review of “The Medieval Constitution of Liberty” delves into the impact of the Black Death and the rise of centralized nation-states on the medieval constitution. The authors contest the prevailing notion that state capacity is essential for economic growth, pointing to historical examples of strong states stifling development. They argue that the constitutional heritage of medieval Europe played a crucial role in fostering the conditions for modern prosperity.

Overall, both books reviewed in this issue of Regulation shed light on the evolution of libertarian thought and the influence of medieval political structures on classical liberalism. They offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between individual liberty, political power, and economic development.
