- Synopsis
- What is fundamentally wrong with government today? In Against Leviathan, economist and historian Robert Higgs, offers an unflinching critical analysis of government power.Against Leviathan combines an economist&’s analytical scrutiny, an historian&’s respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom. Topics include Social Security, the paternalism of the FDA, the &“War on Drugs,&” the nature of political leadership, civil liberties, the conduct of the national surveillance state, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of &“crises,&” including domestic economic busts and foreign wars both hot and cold. Against Leviathan is a thorough and penetrating critique, and a significant contribution in this current time of crisis and unchecked expansion of government power.
