The Free Market 15, no. 4 (April 1997) It is the widespread view in academia that John Maynard Keynes was a model classical liberal in the tradition of Locke, Jefferson, and Tocqueville.

In granting official diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union in November 1933 Franklin Roosevelt was “unintentionally,” of course, returning to the traditions of American foreign policy.

Al otorgar reconocimiento diplomático oficial a la Unión Soviética en noviembre de 1933, Franklin Roosevelt estaba «involuntariamente», por supuesto, volviendo a las tradiciones de la política exterior estadounidense.
