BRITISH AND AMERICAN political scientists recently have shown an un usual degree of interest in the history of their discipline. The dawn of a new millennium prompted leading figures in the British study of politics to reflect on their past and to situate themselves in relation to it. 1 In America, work on the history of political science has appeared off and on for some time, but the last decade has witnessed a positive flourishing of such studies. These studies include some in which luminaries in the disci pline look back on their teachers and predecessors. 2 They also include a distinct subgenre of historical studies written from within the discipline, but by scholars outside its limelight. 3 The past of political science has attracted further attention recently from intellectual historians outside of the discipline in both Britain and America. 4 Modern Political Science

This paper examines John Stuart Mill's discussion of economic liberty and individual liberty, and his view of the relationship between the two. It explores how, and how effectively, Mill developed his arguments about the two liberties; reveals the lineages of thought from which they derived; and considers how his arguments were altered by political economists not long after his death. It is argued that the distinction Mill drew between the two liberties provided him with a framework of concepts which legitimised significant government intervention in economic matters without restricting individual liberty.Acknowledgements: The authors would like to thank, without in any way implicating, the following individuals for their helpful criticisms and suggestions on earlier drafts of this essay:
