Mere Liberty

C.S. Lewis is a very interesting thinker.

Here's a lecture by David Theroux of Independent Institute on "C.S. Lewis on Mere Liberty and the Evils of Statism."

It's pretty long, but you can download it as an MP3 and listen to it as a podcast.

I've ended up listening to it as it streamed the video to my phone. Bye-bye, data.

Anyway, he quotes a good bit from this Lewis essay: http://cslewisjrrtolkien.classicalautographs.com/cslewis/bookexcerpts/willingslaveswelfarestate.html

It's an incredible bit of writing that's both deeply liberal and deeply conservative.
