Abstract

This analytical essay aims to critically understand aspects of liberalism and state intervention. With the central objective of rescuing issues worked by modern political science authors regarding the ways that a society can be more just and to combat inequalities in the world, the main question is unfolded in reflections on how to reconcile freedom with the action of markets and On the limits of democracy in this context, discussed in a problematization of thinkers such as Adam Smith, Alex de Tocqueville, Stuart Mill, Max Weber and Karl Marx in dialogue with more contemporary theorists such as Friedrich Hayek, John Rawls, Jürgen Habermas and Anthony Giddens. The urgency of a process of strengthening parliaments, with public policies of social inclusion that allow a more egalitarian society and an education that opens doors to forming a critical citizen, that understands the differences within the field of respect to the Other and to the Freedoms of choice. The proposal of continuous improvement of institutions and judgments through systems of consultations, reforms and legal and political revisions is increasingly needed in a world of constant change.
