Barnett is a Senior Fellow of the Cato Institute and the Goldwater Institute. His book ''The Structure of Liberty'' won the Ralph Gregory Elliot Book Award in 1998. In 2008 he was awarded a Fellowship in Constitutional Studies by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. == Jurisprudence == In ''The Structure of Liberty'', Barnett offers a libertarian theory of law and politics. Barnett calls his theory "the liberal conception of justice", emphasizing the relationship between legal libertarianism and classical liberalism. Barnett argues that private adjudication and enforcement of law, with market forces eliminating inefficiencies and inequities, is the only legal system that can provide adequate solutions to the problems of interest, power, and knowledge. Barnett discusses theories of constitutional legitimacy and methods of constitutional interpretation in ''Restoring the Lost Constitution''. There have been several criticisms and reviews of Barnett's theory, including: * N. Stephen Kinsella, ''Knowledge, Calculation, Conflict, and Law'', 2 ''Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics''. 49 (1999). * Richard Epstein, "The Libertarian Quartet", ''Reason Magazine'', Jan. 1999. * David N.
