English term or phrase: epitomising liberalisation
What lies in the more remote future depends on many social, economic and political variables, and history has some relevance in this regard. It is instructive to recall what followed the Victorian period of the 19th century, which is considered by many historians as epitomising liberalisation at the high end, including the free flow of labour.
