    I always think of Engels’ The Condition of the Working Class in England as being an excellent portrayal of liberalism and its roots. Excellent book if you haven’t read it already. It really goes into how liberals came into being, and their role as the expression of the mill owners and their ilk during the late eighteenth and early the nineteenth centuries, and beyond.

      Oh yeah that’s pretty excellent stuff, I find most Engels writing is great. His writing is also a lot easier to read than Marx I find. He really doesn’t get enough credit.
