| Sumario: | "What is fundamentally wrong with government today? In Against Leviathan economist and historian Robert Higgs offers a critical analysis of government power." "This book combines an economists's analytical scrutiny, an historian's respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom. Topics include such programs as Social Security, the paternalism of the FDA and the War on Drugs, the nature of political leadership, civil liberties and the conduct of the national surveillance state, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of "crisis," including domestic economic busts and foreign wars both hot and cold."--Jacket. |
