Which combination does modern liberalism, as described in the chapter, accept that classical liberalism historically resisted?
APriority of individual choice over family and community
BTolerance toward views with which one disagrees
CA welfare state and measures to reduce inequality
DA free market with minimal state intervention
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A welfare state and measures to reduce inequality
The Liberalism box notes: 'Historically, liberalism favoured free market and minimal role to the state. However, present day liberalism acknowledges a role for welfare state and accepts the need for measures to reduce both social and economic inequalities.' The other options are core to BOTH classical and modern liberalism.
