Today,
in the United States, conservatives, reactionaries, "Libertarians" and
even the religious right often claim to be the real inheritors of the Classical
Liberal tradition, a tradition they insist contemporary liberals have abandoned.
The generous funding these elements have made available for the propagation
of this myth, while no doubt facilitating its spread, makes it no less
of a myth. Our site provides an informal examination of the history and
ideas of the Classical Liberals, a sort of primer we hope will debunk this
pernicious myth and expose those who propagate it as the frauds they are.
