This book is an interpretation and critique of Habermas's
philosophy of law in his Between Facts and Norms. The main point is
that, while Habermas is insightful in laying out a new conceptual
and methodological foundation for the philosophy of law, the book
is flawed by a fundamental contradiction: that between the notion
of a democracy ruled by law and capitalism. Because capitalism is
essentially undemocratic both in its internal economic workings and
its intended, structural effect on culture and politics, it must
adversely affect the most important institutions in western
democratic society, the legislature, judiciary, state
administration, and public sphere. As a result, instead of a nation
effectively 'of, by, and for the people, ' there exists one that is
essentially 'of, by, and for capital.
