0:58-1:04 No, that were the spaniard liberals of the Cadiz courts in the 19th century, Neither Smith, Locke, Ashley Cooper or Hume self-described with that label
Your "No" is mistaken. I stand by what is said at 0:58-1:04. I say that Smith and others were the first to give "liberal" a political meaning. That is true. Here it is useful to distinguish between "liberal" as adjective and as noun. I agree that Smith did not call himself "a liberal". But later people, such as the Spanish liberals, called themselves "liberals" because Smith and others had given the adjective "liberal" a political meaning and they were aligned with Smith's political meaning. See my piece on the adjective liberal 1769-1824, at Brownstone Institute and at SSRN, and forthcoming in Journal of Contextual Economics.
