Francisco Vergara. Les fondements philosophiques du libEralisme--LibEralisme et Ethique. Paris: La DEcouverte. 2002. Pp. 220. ISBN 2 7071 3520 8. 9.50 [euro]. Our interest has always been attracted by investigations of the thought of classical liberals. Indeed, the question of their theoretical heterogeneity is still unresolved, despite the numerous specialists who have dealt with this matter (Berlin 1969; Hayek 1960; Gray 1980), challenging us to provide contemporary capitalism with viable liberal foundations. This explains why, ten years after its first publication, Francisco Vergara's book, Les Fondements Philosophiques du LibEralisme, has been reissued and still remains attractive, trying to clarify the aforementioned theoretical difficulty in the history of economic ideas.
