“Wanjiru Njoya’s Economic Freedom and Social Justice insightfully examines the foundations and effects of contemporary equality law, mainly applied to issues of employment and race. ... The book does not … assume that readers are versed in that literature, so the book remains accessible and excellently introduces readers without that background to the classical liberal tradition. The target audience includes scholars across multiple disciplines. While the book engages with complicated issues in law, philosophy, and economics, it remains accessible." (Chad Van Schoelandt, Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy, Vol. 7 (1), 2024)

“Njoya’s concern about the proper meaning and value of equality and liberty, particularly concerning the rule of law. The book brings the reader back to the fundamental philosophic issues and emphasizes foundational disputes between classical liberals and egalitarians. This conclusion argues that these disputes are about the content of justice, not whether to support justice.” (Chad Van Schoelandt, Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy, December 27, 2023)
