How did the value of freedom become so closely associated with the
institution of the market? Why did the idea of market freedom hold
so little appeal before the modern period, and how can we explain
its rise to dominance? In The Invention of Market Freedom, Eric
MacGilvray addresses these questions by contrasting the market
conception of freedom with the republican view that it displaced.
After analyzing the ethical core and exploring the conceptual
complexity of republican freedom, MacGilvray shows how this way of
thinking was confronted with, altered in response to, and finally
overcome by the rise of modern market societies. By learning to see
market freedom as something that was invented, we can become more
alert to the ways in which the appeal to freedom shapes and
distorts our thinking about politics.
