Liberalism by L. T. Hobhouse, published in 1911, is a classic statement of modern social liberalism. Hobhouse traces the history of liberal ideas from Locke to Mill and argues that true liberty requires positive social conditions, not just non-interference. He advocates welfare reform, labor rights, and the ethical use of state power to expand individual opportunity. The book remains a foundational text for social democracy.
