Classical liberal thinkers have made notable contributions to expand economic progress and civil liberties
Classical liberalism and neoliberalism
At Malthus Global, we advocate for civil liberties and individual freedom under the rule of law. We believe in social and economic freedom, democracy and global collaboration as instruments to protect the natural law, the people, national interests and sovereignty. We understand the world is changing and facing new challenges, however, we also respect traditions and the pillars of western society.
In the past, liberal thinkers have made notable contributions to expand wealth, prosperity and socio-economic progress. We recognise the classical liberalism and neoliberalism legacy as key conceptual foundations for a more objective analysis of contemporary challenges.
