Features: Reaffirming Liberalism--Choice, Contract, Agreement reflects three beliefs. First, a rigorous, comprehensive, and stable political theory is beneficial for sorting out the relationship between society and its government. It does not guarantee that the government will always be a good one, nor does it even guarantee that the government will always be limited, but it helps define the boundaries we should pursue. Second, incorporating such a theory into the concrete of unable fundamental principles is a challenging but engaging and worthwhile endeavor, even without a guarantee of success. Third, the degeneration of liberalism in thought cannot be blamed on historical progress but rather on its weak building blocks and its design, which is all too inviting for tinkering, patching, and indiscriminate modifications.
