Why Liberalism Works / True Liberal Values book by Deirdre N. McCloskey  
Why Liberalism Works book by Deirdre N. McCloskey - Spanish edition  
"Why Liberalism Works: How True Liberal Values Produce A Freer, More Equal, Prosperous World For All" [2019] by Deirdre Nansen McCloskey
Liberalism is defined as an optimistic philosophy that depends on the power of rhetoric rather than coercion, and on ethics, free speech, and facts in order to thrive; author shows how the adoption of Enlightenment ideals of liberalism - embracing ideas first espoused by 18th Century philosophers like Locke, Adam Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft - is good for everyone and has propelled the freedom and prosperity that are the qualities of a full life; in her view, liberalism leads to equality, but equality does not necessarily lead to liberalism
