About this title

Synopsis

An attorney takes a critical approach to law, explaining how a rule-bound government has promoted bureaucratic gridlock, created a litigious society, and become detrimental to intelligent decision making on the part of judges, industry, and government

From the Inside Flap

disturbing, devastatingly detailed--this stunning examination of how modern laws are diminishing America exposes the drawbacks of rule-bound government, tells why nothing gets done, reveals the phony pretensions of law, and shows why well-intentioned laws have actually devalued rights. In short, The Death of Common Sense demonstrates how the buck never stops and how ell-meaning laws are creating a nation of enemies. (Poltics/Current Events)
