Episode notes

This chapter explores the concept of non-interference and non-domination in relation to non-compete clauses in employment contracts, discussing how these clauses can be seen as a form of interference and domination by employers. It also highlights the importance of laws that restrict employer powers and the role of worker solidarity.

Yascha Mounk and Philip Pettit discuss small-r “republicanism” and how to make sure people don’t suffer from domination.

Philip Pettit is the L.S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values at Princeton University. His latest book is The State.

In this week’s conversation, Yascha Mounk and Philip Pettit discuss the intellectual traditions of liberalism and republicanism; how freedom from domination differs from freedom from interference; and what role the state plays in making people free.
