Free marketeers claim that theirs is the only economic mechanism
which respects and furthers human freedom. Socialism, they say, has
been thoroughly discredited. Most libertarians treat the state in
anything other than its minimal, 'nightwatchman' form as a
repressive embodiment of evil. Some reject the state altogether.
But is the 'free market idea' a rationally defensible belief? Or do
its proponents fail to examine the philosophical roots of their
so-called freedom? Anti-libertarianism takes a sceptical look at
the conceptual tenets of free market politics. Alan Haworth argues
that libertarianism is little more than an unfounded,
quasi-religious statement of faith: a market romance. Moreover,
libertarianism is exposed as profoundly antithetical to the very
freedom which it purports to advance. This controversial book is
for anyone interested in the cultural and political impact of free
market policies on the modern world. It will be invaluable to
students and specialists of political and economic theory, social
science and philosophy.
