Richard Reeves on John Stuart Mill

In 2007 Richard Reeves published John Stuart Mill: Victorian Firebrand, a biography and account of the great Liberal's thought. In 2010 he became special adviser to Nick Clegg.

I find it encouraging that we have such a good Liberal in this role. It is well worth listening to this lecture, given at the University of Richmond, Virginia, in September 2009 under the title "The Individual and Society: How Would Mill Define ‘The Common Good'?"

Incidentally, my 2007 Liberator article Why John Stuart Mill is the greatest Liberal owed an indecent amount to Reeves.
