-'''Social liberalism''', also called '''new liberalism''' (as it was originally termed), '''high liberalism''', '''radical liberalism''', '''modern liberalism''', or in North America and the United Kingdom simply '''liberalism''', is a branch of [[liberalism]] which emphasizes [[individual rights]] and [[equal opportunity]] for all citizens. For social liberals, the lack of education, health, or employment, is seen as as big a threat to individual freedom as state compulsion and coercion. Additionally, like other liberals, social liberals support (with qualifications) free markets, private entrepreneurship, and a limited state.
