Description
  1. 538 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color); 25 cm
Summary
  1. Looks at the development of modern liberalism by examining the long history of the Economist newspaper, which, since 1843, has been a tireless-and internationally influential-champion of liberal causes throughout the world. Zevin examines a political ideology on the move as it confronts the challenges that classical doctrine left unresolved: the rise of democracy, the expansion of empire, the ascendancy of high finance. He also holds a mirror to the politics-and personalities-of Economist editors past and present, from Victorian banker-essayists James Wilson and Walter Bagehot to latter-day eminences Bill Emmott and Zanny Minton Beddoes. --From publisher description.
