- Summary
- "The essays in this volume assess the strength and impact of market liberal or libertarian political theory, which, broadly conceived, advocates a more carefully circumscribed role for the state and a greater reliance on the ability of individuals and voluntary, private-sector institutions to confront social problems." "Market liberal or libertarian political theory offers an alternative to interventionist policies that are increasingly being questioned by citizens around the world. These essays - written by leading philosophers, economists, and legal theorists - provide insights into the limits of government, develop market-oriented solutions to pressing social problems, and explore some defects in traditional libertarian theory and practice."--BOOK JACKET.
