Liberalism edit

This edit removed a part that clarified the intended meaning of the word "Liberal", as it uses the book itself as a reference, and that's a primary source. Yes, that's correct, but this is an acceptable use of primary sources: cite in an article about a book the things the book itself says. Cambalachero (talk) 23:23, 5 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

The reference is the editor's notes in the English translation, and not from the original authors. While I can understand that it is important to distinguish the use of "liberalism" in English from progressism with classical liberalism, calling the book "libertarian" is a stretch, and I don't believe that this is the best way to support the claim. --NoonIcarus (talk) 16:49, 6 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
