From Free to Fair Markets: Liberalism after Covid‐19.

- Abstract
It is interesting that the moral arguments against social liberalism, or what he termed "positive liberalism", were developed by Wilhelm von Humboldt in his I Limits of State Action i , written in the late eighteenth century, largely in response to Prussian paternalism. In conclusion, one can say that this is an interesting attempt to present the case for social liberalism in twenty-first-century America, but it does nothing to allay the suspicion that social liberalism is essentially about the social rather than the liberalism. Although they invoke Hobhouse, Holden and Dixon do not address the central premise of social liberalism, that state intervention is necessary to produce an independent citizenry.
