In his academic work, Robert Higgs has dissected the government's
shrewd secret excesses that lead to the Welfare State, the Warfare
State, and the Administrative State. For several decades he has
unstintingly chronicled the federal, state, and local governments'
malfeasance in these many areas of life that all levels of
government have intruded upon without Constitutional mandate. In
this book, however, are essays that show a whimsical,
introspective, and personal side of this world renowned scholar.
From the myth that the government has derived its powers from the
consent of the governed to the role of independent experts in
formulating monetary and fiscal policy; from the government's
duplicity in announcing the unemployment rate in a given month to
how the state entraps us, if you want to see a true polymath at
work, these lofty, serious, sad, and illuminating essays will
educate you beyond what you had thought possible about life,
liberty, and the economy.
