Saying that his book was written for 'ideologically uncommitted readers,' Mr. Tomasi invites them and others to join him in exploring the ideas he has outlined. It is an invitation well worth accepting, especially in an election year. -- Adam Wolfson Wall Street Journal An extremely interesting and important project. Ethics [I]mportant ... -- Andrew Koppelman Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Tomasi is a useful corrective to both Rawls and Hayek. Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews In many respects, [Tomasi] is a classical liberal, but he also retains a strong commitment to the worst off in society. He is a supporter of both free-market capitalism and of safety nets. His goal is to combine economic liberty and social justice. In attempting to transcend the standard positions, he should be commended. -- Daniel Ben-Ami Spiked Review of Books Brilliant... The heart of Tomasi's book entails serious engagement with John Rawls and his liberal theory of justice as fairness. -- Ryan T. Anderson Weekly Standard Tomasi takes a significant step beyond classical and some types of social democratic liberalism in an attempt to find common ground... Tomasi's 'market democracy' contributes important insight to the continuing political-economic debate. Choice One could hardly imagine John Tomasi's Free Market Fairness coming along at a more opportune time. Stump-speech rhetoric seems to have turned its attention (at least nominally) towards the concept of fairness... The proper role of government is up for debate again... Tomasi offers a clear-headed exploration of these and other issues during a moment of noticeable obtuseness and obfuscation in American politics [as] an accident of timing, incidental to his larger project, which is both ambitious and deeply needed. -- Robert Herritt Policy Review Free Market Fairness is both an excellent book and an important one. What makes a work of philosophy valuable is not that it arrives at all the right conclusions, but that it asks the right questions, makes us think, and causes us to re-examine our assumptions. Free Market Fairness does all of those things. For this reason, it is appropriate to describe the book as seminal. -- John Hasnas Regulation [Free Market Fairness's] aim is to question opposed modes of thought and find a way between them.

Free Market Fairness does all of those things. For this reason, it is appropriate to describe the book as seminal. --John Hasnas, Regulation John Tomasi has written a spirited, accessible book that successfully argues the classical liberal tradition ... of private economic liberty as a necessary and equal partner with social and political liberties in a free and just democratic society. This integrated, constructive approach ... also recognizes the importance of social justice, a high liberal concept that he redefines by employing the principles of classical liberal thought... Tomasi has provided the intellectual and justificatory framework for classical liberal adherents to robustly explore opportunities in a market-democracy research program. --Thomas A. Hemphill, Journal of Markets and Morality Free Market Fairness is a fine book that merits promotion, a merit raise, a cohort of graduate students, a fine reputation, and all the other benefits of academic life. The book is well written and well researched. The arguments are clearly stated and well defended. Political thinkers of all stripes will benefit from Tomasi's discussion of classical liberalism and libertarianism. --Mark A. Graber, Review of Politics A landmark publication in political philosophy. --Res Publica John Tomasi is to be applauded for endeavoring to restore among contemporary philosophy professors an appreciation of the political and moral virtues of classical economic liberalism, highlighting ... its benefits for all citizens, especially the 'less advantaged,' while distinguishing it from the dogmatic, apolitical libertarianism that tends in practice to weaken support for economic (and hence political) freedom. --David Lewis Schaefer, Society [Free Market Fairness's] aim is to question opposed modes of thought and find a way between them.
