Reviews
Well written and argued.
First-rate, sound, and convincing defense of expansive freedom and active government against the currently dominant 'free market' version. Highly recommended.
A well-crafted normative argument appropriately backed by theory, reasoning, and evidence.
Agree with Schwarz or not, Freedom Reclaimed has to be taken seriously because it could define the discourse for the next 50 years.
This stimulating and important work by an independent-minded and humane scholar undertakes the sizeable intellectual task of rescuing the idea of freedom from the monopoly of open-market libertarians and reconciling its basic assumptions with traditional American concerns for the common good.
