Although an inchoate liberty theory of freedom of speech has deep
roots in Supreme Court decisions and political history, it has been
overshadowed in judicial decisions and scholarly commentary by the
marketplace of ideas theory. In this book, Baker critiques the
assumptions required by the marketplace of ideas theory and
develops the liberty theory, showing its philosophical soundness,
persuasiveness, and ability to protect free speech. He argues that
First Amendment liberty rights (as well as Fourteenth Amendment
equality rights) required by political or moral theory are central
to the possibility of progressive change. Problem areas are
examined, including the question of whether individual political
and civil rights can in principle be distinguished from property
rights, freedom of the press, and the use of public spaces for
expressive purposes.
