An Enduring Subtle Underlying Culture Of Classical Liberalism!

“If these things can be accomplished and if the philosophy of economic liberalism can take hold across the world and further intensify in the areas in which it already has taken hold, then for the first time in human history a truly global economic system will be achieved, bringing unprecedented prosperity and economic progress everywhere.” [75]

As you can see, stripping away all of the burdensome laws and regulations that plague our society does not leave a void. There exists an enduring subtle underlying culture of classical liberalism; so there is no need to fear the removal of interventionism. The perfect balance and unerring and all-powerful force of equilibrium is guaranteed. It is when ego-driven interventionism is removed that we will find that we are but one step away from a divine civilization.

Superbly Luscious Fruits Of a Classical Liberalism Society.

“That which was applicable to human needs during the early history of the race can neither meet nor satisfy the demands of this day, this period of newness and consummation. Humanity has emerged from its former state of limitation and preliminary training. Man must now become imbued with new virtues and powers, new moral standards, new capacities.” [73]

Notably and nobly, men and women are the supremely talismanic creatures. Only when burdened by the artificial, narrow-minded, and short-sighted vain imaginings of the ego-driven will our unending progress be impeded. Successfully counteracting ego-driven interpretation and intervention will yield the superbly luscious fruits of a classical liberalism society which can be discerned from reading Principle Ten: “There are no ‘natural’ or desirable limits to human potential for good, and there is no substantive problem that is necessarily unsolvable by present or future human knowledge, effort, and technology. It is a moral imperative for humans to expand their mastery of the universe indefinitely and in such a manner as will reinforce the survival and flourishing of all non-aggressive individuals.” [65]

Liberty And Justice Unites All Human Beings.

Since human life and human expression and human rights are to be respected and appreciated in classical liberalism it is the unhampered flow of God’s grace that is allowed to operate. No ego-driven human intervention, distorting the force of equilibrium, is permitted. Freed from the shackles of prejudices and manmade restrictions everyone enjoys the fruits of Principle Nine: “Accidents of birth, geography, or ancestry do not define an individual and should not result in manmade restrictions of that individual's rights or opportunities. Every individual should be judged purely on his or her personal qualities, including accomplishments, character, and knowledge.” Liberty and justice unites all human beings.

Complete Justice Depends Upon A Free Market.

Depending on the needs of a particular society the free market is wholly sufficient to provide complete justice; but some societies may include limited government as part of the means to attain justice.

Free Market Is The Essence Of Both Liberty And Justice In An Ethical Society.

The next principle, Principle Eight, pertains to the free market and it is pivotal since the free market is the very essence and embodiment of both liberty and justice in an ethical society. Stated: “Commerce, technology, and science are desirable, liberating forces that are capable of alleviating historic ills, improving the quality of human life, and morally elevating human beings. The complete freedom of trade, innovation, and thought should be preserved and supported for all human beings in the world.” With this in mind, “The market steers the capitalistic economy. It directs each individual’s activities into those channels in which he best serves the wants of his fellow-men. The market alone puts the whole social system of private ownership of the means of production and free enterprise in order and provides it with sense and meaning.” [70]

What Is A Litmus Test Of The Liberty And Justice Of A Society?

No matter how universally accepted the pattern of society there will always be those who are alert to injustices and there will always be those whose beliefs are not perfectly compatible with the social pattern. A significant test of liberty and justice – permitting the force of equilibrium to be the ultimate arbiter of reciprocity and harmony – is the respect given within a society to the rights of the freedom of speech and the freedom of religious belief (FSFF).

Adhering To Principles Of Classical Liberalism Yields Justice.

In search for happiness he or she embarks on life’s endeavors, in other words, we exercise purposeful action in the surrounding world that has been created for our use, in cooperation with others.

It is at this point where the companion of liberty takes its place as a great counterbalance. Equilibrium forces tend to bring about a balance between liberty and justice. And so the natural restraint to unbounded liberty, that protects life (L), property rights (PR=HR), God-given rights (GGR) and economic liberty is non-aggressive self defense.

There is a naturalness to the protective shelter of justice which can either be enhanced by or undermined and corrupted by government. For enhancement it is essential that life (L), property rights (PR=HR), God-given rights (GGR), economic liberty (EL), and non-aggressive self-defense (SD) become incorporated into the structure of a limited government and strictly adhered to. These principles serve as a litmus test to be continually used to detect corruption of the government and by the government. Limited government (LG) is the only way there can be justice if government is made a part of society.

Single Foundational Definition Of A Fully-Endowed Individual.

Because each human being is an entity that dwells on Earth part of his or her identity consists of property ownership. . .

Notice the progression from the identity of an individual to the rights of the individual and their interconnectedness. Implied is the establishing and granting of rights and these can be best described as God-given rights. . . 

It was necessary to spell out the details in these first three principles but they can easily be regarded as a single foundational definition of an independent, unique, and fully-endowed individual.
