 Neoliberals do not always embrace negative conceptions of liberty alone. Hayek’s (1960 [2011: 11]) conception of freedom can be interpreted as republican, as the view that one is free when she is free from arbitrary interference, since Hayek repeatedly worries about government engaging in arbitrary controls that prevent people from developing long-term plans. This partly explains his insistence that a society can be free only when it is governed by the rule of law, since while law typically coercively interferes, it interferes in a non-arbitrary, predictable fashion (1960 [2011: 21, 153]). While Buchanan does not share Hayek’s republican sympathies, he too agrees that general rules make liberty possible. Critically, none of these three thinkers embrace a moralized conception of freedom where freedom is the condition of a person whose rights are respected, in contrast to libertarians like Nozick (1974).
