Gregory Salmieri is a fellow at the Anthem Foundation for Objectivist Scholarship and teaches philosophy at Rutgers University, having previously held visiting teaching and research positions at Boston University and the University of North Carolina, Chap Robert Mayhew is professor of philosophy at Seton Hall University. His most recent work on Ayn Rand is an annotated edition of her previously unpublished play The Unconquered.
"Ayn Rand's political philosophy has had a profound effect on
American politics in the past half-century, and yet there has been
comparatively little scholarly discussion of it. Foundations of a
Free Society goes a long way toward fixing that. Rand's philosophy
is presented by advocates and critically evaluated by knowledgeable
and sympathetic opponents who situate Rand as a classical liberal
in a larger tradition." --R. Kevin Hill, Portland State
University
"Finally, a volume that offers a systematic, principled alternative
to prevailing orthodoxies (on the Left and Right) in economics and
political philosophy. Gregory Salmieri and Robert Mayhew bring
together scholars who explain, defend, or critically engage with
Ayn Rand's radical moral defense of capitalism and individual
rights. This book is a must-read for anyone serious about the
conditions of human flourishing. Those wishing to critique
capitalism--properly understood--must contend with Foundations of a
Free Society." --Carrie-Ann Biondi, Marymount Manhattan College
