NEITHER OF YOU HAVE SAID ANYTHING CONTRARY...omg.  Smith, wrote of economics. Kant wrote of how this economic system could bring peace.  Liberalism is about free market limited government. Smith saw that people were selfish and greedy but understood that free market capitalism will align selfish and greedy interests as the interest of other people.  It is economics, politics, sociology, philosophy all rolled into one. Classical Liberalism is about free market limited government and takes the name classical ONLY BECAUSE MODERN LIBERALS PERVERTED THAT MEANING!

And TT, the point is lost on you.  I'm the one whose been talking about liberal beliefs that free markets help lead to limited government, a protection of human rights, and increases in civil and political freedom.  My god, pay attention.(Gibby )
