The Founders of the American Republic set up a remarkable
experiment in self-government. Today, debates rage as to the
philosophical legacy of this ongoing experiment. In this
fascinating study, Timothy Roth offers a critical analysis of
modern liberalism and the economic theory to which it is conjoined
- social welfare theory. The author argues that social welfare
theory cannot be reconciled with the American Founders'
procedurally based, consequence-detached republican self-government
project. The book goes on to explore and expound the Founders'
desire to promote respect for the moral law, their appreciation of
the reciprocal relationship between morality and law, and their
commitment to the promotion of justice in the sense of impartial
institutions; ideas which find expression in contractarian,
constitutional political economy. Scholars and students in
economics, political science, law and philosophy will find this
marvelous treatise an engaging and thought-provoking read.
