Description
"This book represents a distillation and refinement of a lifetime of thought about private property, the individual, and the state. Epstein's vision of the Takings Clause is provocative and original, and has been powerfully influential with courts and academics alike."--Thomas W. Merrill, Charles Keller Beekman Professor, Columbia Law School
"In this timely and thoughtful book Richard Epstein stresses the importance of private property as a safeguard of individual liberty, and argues convincingly for a vigorous interpretation of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment."--James W. Ely, Jr., author of The Guardian of Every Other Right: A Constitutional History of Property Rights
"I have always envied Richard Epstein's awesome ability to boil down the complexities into a pure and powerful dose of common sense. In Supreme Neglect, he demonstrates once again that when it comes to private property and economic liberty, he is simply the best there is."--Timothy Sandefur, Senior Staff Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation, and author of Cornerstone of Liberty: Property Rights in 21st Century America
