Courts in the United States, Canada, and Europe currently grant constitutional protection to commercial advertising. This book examines critically the case for freedom of commercial expression. Roger Shiner argues that the institutional history of such protection is one of ad hoc, not logical, development, and that even from within liberal democratic theory, freedom of commercial expression cannot be justified as a constitutional right.
