Book SynopsisBy reformulating traditional liberal and libertarian approaches to the First Amendment, this title convincingly disputes the notion that those who question an unwavering reliance on free- and-open competition between individuals to produce free expression are necessarily enemies of free speech.
Trade Review"A rich and rewarding collection showing the need to advance First Amendment thinking beyond the series of empty tests, slogans, and formalistic mumbo-jumbo that have characterized it for years. A much welcome contribution to scholarship and public thought." -- Richard Delgado,Charles Inglis Thomson Professor of Law University of Colorado School of Law
