# *Black Liberation through the Marketplace*

[*Black Liberation through the Marketplace*](https://www.amazon.com/Black-Liberation-Through-Marketplace-Heartbreak/dp/1637583443?tag=catoinstitute-20) details some of the work necessary to begin to make good on the promises of property rights, freedom of contract, and the protection of the rule of law for all Americans, most especially those Americans to whom those promises have not been delivered. Rachel Ferguson is the book’s coauthor.
