Liberalism is a political ideology portrayed as the ideology of the industrialized West. Although liberals of all time never waver in their faith in protecting the "liberty" of individuals, the meaning of the word keeps changing over time.
Classical liberalism is a political ideology that values the freedom of individuals — including the freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and markets — as well as limited government. It developed in 18th-century Europe and drew on the economic writings of Adam Smith and the growing notion of social progress.
This is true for modern liberals, who believe in a relative form of social equality that is still grounded in individualism where equality of opportunity and positive freedom allow individuals to choose to succeed. Qualified welfare is the means by which positive freedom and equality of opportunity take place.
