Among other things, this article has one of the more useful definitions of “liberalism” I’ve seen (fyi “negative” as used here does not mean bad):
“Liberalism has two core components: the protection of property rights and a notion of negative freedom grounded in human rights and political checks and balances. What we are now seeing in the US (and the UK, and elsewhere in Europe) is the defence of the former at the expense of the latter.”
