Who was Lord Acton?

Very recommendable! Lord Acton is undoubtedly one of the great thinkers of classical liberalism. His influence on e.g. Friedrich von Hayek was immense!



"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority.”
