Libertarians like John Tomasi, who care about social justice, must say more about which economic freedoms matter and why they matter if they hope to persuade liberal egalitarians to adopt their approach. In particular, they must clarify the preconditions of equal freedom and explore more fully the relationship between security and freedom. They must also address questions about collective-action problems and the extent to which the modern corporation should be viewed as an outgrowth and expression of individual freedom. Finally, libertarians (and liberal egalitarians) should engage more fully with recent feminist literature that challenges the ideal of market-centered self-authorship that Tomasi celebrates. Notes1. In fairness to Tomasi, I should acknowledge that the feminist challenge applies as fully to most liberal egalitarians as it does to him, and that many of them ignore it as well. For an introduction to these feminist ideas, see the work of authors like Eva Kittay (Citation1999), Jennifer Nedelsky (Citation2011), and Joan Tronto (Citation1993) and the many references they provide to other scholars working in the same vein
