Modern politics

For classical liberals, the problem of politics was to find a way of restraining power; for modern liberals, it is how to maximize autonomy; for socialists, how to distribute the benefits of society fairly.  For conservatives, the basic problem is the moralization of society, that is, the attribution of moral significance to the relations of people in community.  For the citizens of a “moralized” society, all the major aspects of existence are colored by ideas of duty, loyalty, and status.Ca.
