Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-08 00:00:00 Charles Block A remarkable exposition of the history of recent centuries and the rise to hegemony of liberalism/capitalism and their handmaiden usury. Peppered with utterly revealing quotations from a wide range of protagonists, it is held together by Laski's deeply insightful prose, rarely a sentence of which is without benefit.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-24 00:00:00 Donna Gibb A brilliant, engaging essay on the development of European liberalism. To Laski, European liberalism begins when the Middle Ages wane and there is an almost uninterrupted rise in liberal thought and feeling in European life and discourse from the 16th to 18th centuries all culminating in the 19th century-- the century that becomes, in Laski's argument, the zenith of European liberalism.
