<br> This is an excellent book. Sunstein is one of the leading legal scholars of his generation and this is an extremely timely subject, particularly in this era of regulatory embattlement. --Carol Rose, Yale Law School<br> This is a thought-provoking and important contribution to current public policy debate. Highly recommended for libraries at all levels. --Choice<br> Sunstein's stature among legal scholars is tremendous; his previous books have reflected an admixture of pathbreaking, provocative scholarship on many key law and policy debates today. Free Markets and Social Justice represents a valuable and important contribution to Sunstein's impressive ouevre. --Daniel B. Rodriguez, University of California School of Law, Berkeley<br> Sunstein captures again and again in this provocative and insightful book the ways in which context and the nature of our humanity shape preferences, and so need to be accounted for (as markets cannot do) in a political system that seeks to be just.

Fortunately for us, his luminescent career has developed at the University of Chicago, in the midst of colleagues whom, as he puts it, could TRY to teach him something about economics, but more importantly provoke and help him to hone the skeptical responses that have so consistently animated his influential scholarship. This collection of essays, revised and shaped to persuasive unity, will be enormously helpful to all who wish to explore the uses and abuses of market reasoning in the political and legal sphere. --Peter L. Strauss, Columbia University Sunstein is a man of many ideas, and this book is a splendid introduction to them. --Bruce Ackerman, Yale Law School
