Introduction: Symposium on Robust Political Economy
Originally published in Critical Review
Mark Pennington’s Robust Political Economy is a systematic exposition of a framework for analyzing institutional performance.

On grounds of robustness, Pennington combines insights from Austrian market-process theory and public-choice theory to defend classical liberalism from several compelling critiques. These include theories of market failure in economics; communitarian, deliberative-democratic, and liberal-egalitarian theories of justice; and concerns with social capital, domestic and international poverty, and ecology.
