Publisher's Note
Distressing, 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)

Industry reviews
"'The Death of Common Sense' is a reflection of a mood rather than a sustained argument, but it sets the right mood. When we think about 'reinventing government,' it's a good place to start."
New York Times Book Review - Cass R. Sunstein (02/12/1995)

"A blood-boiler. One of the most important and thought-provoking books I've read in years."
Andrew Tobias 

"Eloquent. A brilliant diagnosis, forceful, trenchant and well-written."
Arthur M. Schlesinger 

"As important as any book I've read since the Bible."
Lawton Chiles 

"The delights of this policy prose poem lie in its perfect details, its civilized tone, its sure sense of where the ill-made legal shoe pinches the citizen's foot."
Wall Street Journal - Walter Olson (03/31/1995)
