Liberalism: the idea that changed the world

What is liberalism, after all?

Here is a question that is surprisingly difficult to answer. In this book, we are taken on a journey to understand the revolutionary idea that we are all born free and equal in rights – an idea that paved the way for unprecedented economic growth and continues to transform our societies into spaces of freedom, innovation, and progress.

Across these pages, Carlos Guimarães Pinto presents the main principles of liberalism, explaining how they take shape in different liberal traditions and how they apply to the central challenges of our time.

If you have ever wondered what it really means to be a liberal, even if you are not, this book is for you.
