520 8  An insightful and passionately written book explaining why
       a return to Enlightenment ideals is good for the world. 
       The greatest challenges facing humankind, according to 
       Deirdre McCloskey, are poverty and tyranny, both of which 
       hold people back. Arguing for a return to true liberal 
       values, this engaging and accessible book develops, 
       defends, and demonstrates how embracing the ideas first 
       espoused by eighteenth-century philosophers like Locke, 
       Smith, Voltaire, and Wollstonecraft is good for everyone. 
       With her trademark wit and deep understanding, McCloskey 
       shows how the adoption of Enlightenment ideals of 
       liberalism has propelled the freedom and prosperity that 
       define the quality of a full life. In her view, liberalism
       leads to equality, but equality does not necessarily lead 
       to liberalism-and the fixation of the left on inequality 
       is counterproductive. Liberalism is an optimistic 
       philosophy that depends on the power of rhetoric rather 
       than arms and on ethics, free speech, and facts for us to 
       thrive
