Synopsis

The enormous growth of the state occurring over much of this century has led the authors of this book to re-examine the proper relationship between the American people and their government.

The authors first analyse the case for limiting governmental power and discuss which limits are appropriate, including tax and regulatory limits and electoral, congressional term and constitutional limits. They also examine possible auxiliary sources of state limitation, such as technological and economic limitations, informal order and lessons to be learned from local government. In sum, this book provides a seminal analysis of the necessity of limiting state power in order to preserve human rights.

Limiting Leviathan will be a valuable reference point for scholars of public choice and government institutions.
