Economic liberties such as the right to property, freedom to enter into a contract of one's choosing and pursuing a desired economic activity have in the past been attributed the same level of importance as personal rights. With the ebb and flow of time political interference has become more prominent thus eroding the concept of republic and diluting the concept of rule of law. Although economic liberty has had a short existence in human history it is still viewed as an imperative notion by some to combat special interests lobbying in government institutions and good intentions that often lead to unintended consequences. The aim of this book is to instill a point of view different than the one sold on the mainstream and to add to their knowledge that once in the past an idea emerged to protect individuals from the scourge of feudalism, monarchies and dictators and put in place a higher authority than no other man could dispossess another of his right to work and earn a living.
