(From the “Art of the Levellers”)
I have been working on “The Leveller Tracts Project” on and off for the past five years. As we are getting close to its completion here is a summary of what is available to date (June 25, 2015).
Thomas Hodgskin and the Philosophic Radicals
Date: July, 2014
I have added the following titles to the Guillaumin Library of Classical Liberal Thought – English Classical Liberals. Hodgskin is a radical individualist and supporter of free trade, yet is is claimed by the left as one of their own. The French historian Élie Halévy wrote the first biography of Hodgskin after writing a massive three volume history of the Philosophic Radicals in England, namely Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill:
