The connection between the economic and political aspects of liberalism (as constituted historically) is often regarded as accidental. The previous paragraph shows, however, that Barry's quip that "libertarianism [he has in mind the thought of Hayek, Friedman, Nozick and others] has been well defined as the form taken by liberalism as common sense asymptotically approaches zero" is unjustified (Barry, 1991b, 278). Liberalism provides a strong prima facie case for letting human activity develop.
When both Mill and Rawls, following Kant—and Max Weber—insist on the ability to detach oneself from one's own beliefs and to act upon principles, not according to authority or group pressure, and that this is the hallmark of moral individuality and responsibility, they do not deny the existence of this given context of shared beliefs. This is crucial for the making of the civil nation. If beliefs were constitutive, it would make it impossible to create a political association respectful of both diversity and freedom.
