Robert Myer's achievement is not just that his solutions are original and plausible, but that his arguments acknowledge and demonstrate the need to approach the problems [of self-governance and cooperation] as an inseparable pair. Myer's book is a welcome counterforce to a tendency in contemporary moral philosophy to artificially divide the subject. This deft and confident book asks the big questions, and is full of ideas about how they might best be approached, if not finally answered. It is an important contribution to the whole subject.--Liam Murphy, Philosophical Review
