This book examines contemporary policy debates from opposing perspectives. It considers seven key topics in today's society: land use, education, international trade, health insurance, technological change, and recreational alcohol and drugs. Two scholars with differing viewpoints discuss each topic, one working in the classical liberal tradition and the other advocating slower, incremental societal change. While classical liberalism historically presents a vision of society comprised of free and responsible individuals, this book shows the importance of considering the nuances of this vision today. Beyond theoretical regulation vs. de-regulation debates, the book highlights challenges for classical liberals by considering how dynamism and creative destruction may disrupt communities, leading to worse outcomes for some groups. This edited volume aims to deepen understanding of this challenge to a free society and partake in and encourage civil intellectual discourse and debate. It willinterest students and scholars from various fields, including economics, political science, public health, and environmental studies.

本書從對立的觀點探討當代政策辯論。它考慮了當今社會的七個關鍵主題：土地使用、教育、國際貿易、健康保險、技術變革，以及娛樂性酒精和毒品。兩位持不同觀點的學者討論每個主題，一位在古典自由主義傳統中工作，另一位則主張較慢、漸進的社會變革。雖然古典自由主義歷史上呈現出由自由且負責任的個體組成的社會願景，但本書顯示了當今考慮這一願景的細微差別的重要性。除了理論上的管制與放鬆管制辯論外，本書還強調了古典自由主義者所面臨的挑戰，考慮到動態性和創造性破壞可能會擾亂社區，導致某些群體的結果更糟。這本編輯的著作旨在加深對自由社會挑戰的理解，並參與和鼓勵文明的智識對話和辯論。它將吸引來自各個領域的學生和學者，包括經濟學、政治學、公共衛生和環境研究。
