Críticas:
"Insightful, compelling, and clear, Higgs breaks new ground in explicating the most important socio-political trend of our time--the growth of American government." --Freeman "A thoughtful and challenging work." --Harper's "An important, powerful, and profoundly disturbing book." --James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economic Science, Journal of Economic History "A book of major importance, thoroughly researched, closely argued, and meticulously documented. It should be high on the reading list of every serious student of the American political system." --Political Science Quarterly
Reseña del editor:
Discussing how government has continually grown in size and scope during the past century, this account demonstrates that the main reason lies in government's responses to national "crises" (real or imagined), including economic upheavals and, especially, war. The result, this book argues, is the ever-increasing government power, which endures long after each crisis has passed, impinging on both civil and economic liberties and fostering extensive corporate welfare. Offering ideological explanations for the ascension of the role of government out of a capitalist, free-market economy, it will appeal to those with interests in political economy, American history, and libertarian politics.
