Unequivocal Justice challenges the prevailing view within political
philosophy that broadly free market regimes are inconsistent with
the basic principles of liberal egalitarian justice. Freiman argues
that the liberal egalitarian rejection of free market regimes rests
on a crucial methodological mistake. Liberal egalitarians regularly
assume an ideal "public interest" model of political behavior and a
nonideal "private interest" model of behavior in the market and
civil society. Freiman argues that this asymmetrical application of
behavioral assumptions biases the analysis and undercuts ideal
theoretical treatments of every major liberal egalitarian
principle, including political liberty, economic sufficiency, fair
opportunity, and social equality. This book reexamines the
institutional implications of each of these principles in nonideal
conditions, making novel philosophical use of political psychology
and public choice economics along the way.
