John Stuart Mill on Liberty and Control by Joseph Hamburger
Shows that John Stuart Mill, far from being an advocate of a maximum degree of liberty, was an advocate of liberty and control - indeed a degree of control ultimately incompatible with liberal ideals. This book presents Mill's views on liberty in the context of his ideas about, in particular, religion and historical development.
