Professor Epstein is one of the legal academy’s most noted and thoughtful libertarian scholars. His newest book, Skepticism and Freedom, gives a spirited defense of classical liberalism, taking up the debate where his two earlier books—Simple Rules for a Complex World and Principles for a Free Society—left off.

This book defends laissez-faire against critics who have attacked the foundations of the liberal order in defending the modern welfare state. Covering a broad range of topics—ranging from moral theory to linguistics, from game theory to behavioral economics—Professor Epstein argues that the critics of free society make misguided or exaggerated claims.
