Higgs breaks new ground in explicating the most important socio-political trend of our time--the growth of American government."--Brian Summers, Senior Editor, The Freeman . "A superb history....Two hundred years after the establishment of the American Constitution, I can think of no more important reading that Mr. Higgs' book, aside from the Constitution itself."--R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., Editor-in-Chief, The American Spectator "A thoughtful and challenging work."--Martin Morse Wooster, Washington Editor, Harper's Magazine "A book of major importance, thoroughly researched, closely argued, and meticulously documented.
