WPS Academic Talk – Online, Garrath Williams (Lancaster University)OnlineTitle: WPS Talk: Garrath Williams (Lancaster), '"Free Markets": A Kantian Perspective' When: 16:00 –17:30, Thursday February 22nd 2024 Where: Online Notes: "Free Markets": A Kantian Perspective Garrath Williams (Lancaster University) 'We hear a lot about the virtues of “free markets.” We also hear a lot about their problems and, by implication, the need to constrain markets. In this talk, I sketch an alternative, Kantian way of framing markets – as public goods. First, I explain the central ideas of Kant’s political theory – how states must uphold freedom and rights through coercive laws. I suggest that, for Kant, markets rest on a public framework, not just on individual rights. I also point out how individual rights to property and contract can, in situations of inequality, undermine their Kantian justification. Overall, I claim that markets are free where they enable people to act as not-mere-means for one another. These Kantian markets have little to do with familiar economic or neoliberal notions of market freedom.'
