The Orange Book: Reclaiming Liberalism (ISBN ) is a book written by a group of prominent British Liberal Democrat politicians, and edited by David Laws and Paul Marshall in 2004. Beside Laws and Marshall, contributors include Sir Vince Cable, Sir Nick Clegg, Edward Davey, Chris Huhne, Susan Kramer, Mark Oaten, and Steve Webb.
In the book the group offers liberal solutions—often stressing the role of choice and competition—to several societal issues, such as public healthcare, pensions, environment, globalisation, social and agricultural policy, local government, the European Union and prisons. It is usually seen as the most economically liberal publication that the Liberal Democrats have produced in recent times.
Orange Book liberalism is a liberal ideology, mostly within the Liberal Democrats, which seeks to balance the four main strands of liberal thought—social liberalism, economic liberalism, cultural liberalism, and political liberalism.
