Norman Barry, 1944-2008
It is with deep sadness that I note the death in October of our long-time contributing editor Norman Barry after a long illness. He was 64. Over the years Norman kept Freeman readers informed about free-market and statist developments in Europe and elsewhere, always with optimism about the future of liberty. He was a professor of social and political theory at the University in Buckingham, which, he proudly noted, is the United Kingdom’s only private university. Among his many Freeman articles, my favorite is “Freedom and Morality in the Plays of Tom Stoppard.” Norman was a gentleman, a prolific scholar, a passionate libertarian, and a pure pleasure to work with.Here is an obituary from Britain’s Telegraph.
