Death of Common Sense How the Law Is Suf

by Philip K Howard

Death of Common Sense How the Law Is Suf Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.
