Items related to The Cost of Rights: Why Liberty Depends on Taxes: Why...
Synopsis
To "fight for your rights," or anyone else's, is not just to debate principles but to haggle over budgets. The simple insight that all legally enforceable rights cost money reminds us that freedom is not violated by a government that taxes and spends, but requires it? and requires a citizenry vigilant about how money is allocated. Drawing from these practical, commonsense notions, The Cost of Rights provides a useful corrective to the all-or-nothing feel of much political debate nowadays (The Economist).

Review
"Holmes and Sunstein look at the rights debate with a new clarity and pragmatism. Their arguments are powerful against both left and right." -- Patti Waldmeir, Financial Times
"Stephen Holmes and Cass Sunstein, two of America's leading political and legal theorists, build a compelling argument that much political debate is distorted by false dichotomies. By focusing on the budgetary implications of rights, they bring a refreshing clarity to the perennial contests between conservatives and liberals about law, welfare, tax and other issues." -- The Economist
