 Definition Economic and political doctrine advocating free enterprise, free competition and free will. A shortcut word grouping a swath of people who allegedly hold similar values. The liberal ideal does not really exist, as no two people would likely define it exactly the same. Some of the generalizations that people make about liberals include that they are open to social change, not tied to traditional family values, not militaristic, lacking in fiscal restraint, and socially tolerant.

I'm very skeptical that this article is really worth importing. --Larry Sanger 15:48, 3 September 2007 (CDT)

Delete it by all means then. Personally I thought the lack of articles for core political and economical philosophies is something the site lacked, but maybe someone will come along and write a Liberalism article to be proud of (I know I sure as hell haven't got it in me). :-) Denis Cavanagh 16:03, 3 September 2007 (CDT)
