Description

Product Description The enormous growth of the state occurring over much of this century has led the authors of this book to re-examine the proper relationship between the American people and their government. The authors first analyse the case for limiting governmental power and discuss which limits are appropriate, including tax and regulatory limits and electoral, congressional term and constitutional limits. They also examine possible auxiliary sources of state limitation, such as technological and economic limitations, informal order and lessons to be learned from local government. In sum, this book provides a seminal analysis of the necessity of limiting state power in order to preserve human rights. Limiting Leviathan will be a valuable reference point for scholars of public choice and government institutions. Review 'The book is an excellent introduction to the various tools and reasons for limiting government. . . . this book is first-rate. The summaries and overviews are unusually well done, and the book would work well as a reader or a second text in a variety of courses. It is intended as an introduction and overview, and it succeeds admirably.' -- Michael C. Munger, The Independent Review 'Limiting Leviathan may be the best early guide to the major political challenge of the 21st century.'– William A. Niskanen, Cato Institute, Washington, US About the Author Edited by Donald P. Racheter, Executive Director, Public Interest Institute and Richard E. Wagner, Holbert L. Harris Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, George Mason University, US
