abstract = "This article is a review of the contemporary ‘leftist’ republican project. The
project stands on two legs, and we examine them both in turn. The first leg is a
novel reading of history. This reading suggests, on the one hand that, contrary
to some popular assumptions, republicanism does have a leftist, even a radical
stream. But on the other hand, it also suggests that several authors and movements that did not self-identify as republicans actually did, in fact, employ a
characteristically republican thinking. The second leg of the project is a normative one. It is essentially an attempt by political philosophers to demonstrate
that there is something in republican theory from which all these leftist, even
radical streams spring forth. Primarily, it is suggested that it is republicanism’s
sensitivity to the freedom-restricting role of great inequalities of power that
provides the normative resource for the development of a characteristically
republican critique of capital and capitalism. We briefly review the main arguments in favor of these claims, and also, as a conclusion, raise a few challenges
that the ‘leftist’ republican project potentially faces.",
