Description

John Tomasi presents a new theory of liberal justice in Free Market Fairness, arguing that libertarians can care about social justice and that property rights are essential for democratic legitimacy.

This provocative vision of free market capitalism achieves liberal ends by libertarian means, combining moral insights from defenders of economic liberty with advocates of social justice. Tomasi's "market democratic" conception of social justice offers a distinctively American ideal, extending the notion that protection of property and promotion of real opportunity are indivisible goals.

Free Market Fairness challenges readers on both the left and right, offering a bold new way of thinking about politics, economics, and justice. With its twin commitment to economic liberty and fair distribution of goods and opportunities, this book presents a provocative new vision for liberal justice.
