Abstract: The republican ideal of freedom as non-domination is pro-state to the limited extent that law-making can be un-dominational. And it is anti-market to the extent, again limited, that market exchanges establish or facilitate relationship in which the stronger dominate the weaker. It hails an image of a society in which citizens are secure enough to be able to look one another in the eye without reason for deference.
