Rezensionen

"In The Invention of Market Freedom, Eric MacGilvray skillfully grapples with the republican tradition, deploying an innovative problem centered approach to make sense of its ambiguity and diversity. MacGilvray locates the origins of market freedom - a concept at the center of a rival ideological tradition - in the 18th century synthesis of commercial republicanism and the natural juristic tradition. Carefully tracing the processes by which market freedom became dominant after its invention, MacGilvray underscores the ideological elements at stake in thinking about freedom - republican or market. Rather than view the contemporary revival of republican freedom as an unproblematic alternative to market freedom, MacGilvray explores the spheres and applications of both conceptions, emphasizing their moral and political costs and benefits. Clearly argued and well written, this historically and normatively rich work is of wide appeal."-Daniel Kapust, University of Georgia
