Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Lochner v. New York (1905), which pitted a conservative activist judiciary against a reform-minded legislature, remains one of the most important and most frequently cited cases in Supreme Court history. In this concise and readable guide, Paul Kens shows us why the case remains such an important marker in the ideological battles between the free market and the regulatory state.

Book News Annotation:

Kens (political science and history, Southwest Texas State U.) studies a 1905 Supreme Court overturning, of a New York State law limiting bakery workers to no more than ten hours a day. The decision was criticized as promoting laissez-faire capitalism at the expense of progressive reform. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews@booknews.com)

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-199) and index.
