Book Synopsis
What, if anything, does figurative, political slavery have to do with transatlantic slavery? The author explores connections between political and chattel slavery by excavating the tradition of Western political thought that justifies actively opposing tyranny.

Trade Review
"Impressively researched, persuasively argued, and clearly written. Anyone who is concerned with freedom, tyranny, and servitude in the modern or ancient world would do well to read Arbitrary Rule." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
