Reviews
"‘Author Timothy Roth shows that the federal government is being run in a sinister and criminal manner, not a legal one. This serious book reports on ""what went wrong,"" dishes out some of the blame to the mainstream economics profession, and even provides some possible remedies.’ -- Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics ‘Informative and insightful and deserve attention from scholars in the fields of economic history, philosophy of economics, and public policy’ -- Kevin Schmiesing, History and Philosophy of Economics ‘This important book presents a compelling case that traditional received theory (Paretian-utilitarian) has followed a dangerous path – one not espoused by Adam Smith and Nobel Laureate James Buchanan. The latter viewed value and preferences as mutable (not ""given"") and believed that rights systems must underlie moral law and impartial justice. Men must be ""taken as they are"" in this system. Adoption of the Smith-Buchanan paradigm, Professor Roth brilliantly argues, leads to the kind of moral and political philosophy that informs the science of statutes and legislators that underpins our Founding Fathers' republican self-government project.’ -- Bob Ekelund, Auburn University, US"
