On Liberty is a philosophical work in the English language by 19th century philosopher John Stuart Mill, first published in 1859. Composed just after the death of his wife, it is the culmination of part of a plan to record their entire philosophical conclusion. To the Victorian readers of the time it was a radical work, advocating moral and economic freedom of individuals from the state. Mill was not opposed to government intervention in economic affairs; as a liberal, he believed that while property owners' rights needed to be protected, the state also had a role to play in the redistribution of wealth.

I just realized that I should put the last name at front. But unfortunately it seems that I cannot edit it. Can any of the mods change it? Thanks.

Done.

We already have Mill's Utilitarianism, so consequentialists won't be without something to read.
