The Origins of Liberty: Political and Economic Liberalization in the Modern World
Paul W Drake
Why would sovereigns ever grant political or economic liberty to their subjects? Under what conditions would rational rulers who possess ultimate authority and who seek to maximize power and wealth ever give up any of that authority? This book answers these questions, investigating both why sovereign powers might liberalize and when.
