Liberalism: a great new book focusing on what politicians do
The latest episode of Never Mind The Bar Charts features an interview with Emeritus Professor Jonathan Parry, whose new book, Liberalism, explores the history of liberalism as a political idea in Britain.
Parry emphasises that liberalism is best understood through the actions of politicians rather than the abstract theories of political intellectuals.
