Review:

"Maybury challenges the reader to explore the inextricable connections between law and economics, and between economic and political liberty. I can think of no more important subject, and I highly recommend this lucid and thoughtful volume." --William E. Simon, former U.S. Treasury Secretary

"Richard Maybury's 'Whatever Happened to Justice?' should be required reading for all who hold or aspire to hold public office, as well as for all members of the judicial system. It is a fitting companion volume to his earlier 'Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?'" --William P. Snavely, Professor Emeritus of Economics, George Mason University

"The author of 'Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?' has done even better with 'Whatever Happened to Justice?'. Maybury has a gift for translating what sounds like tedious information into very personalized examples. He follows the 'Penny Candy' format, where Uncle Eric is writing to...Chris. Each letter is reasonably brief, so students will not be overwhelmed with too much information at once. It will not take much time to read through, although it might generate lengthy discussions. No matter what else you use, this book is a must!" --Cathy Duffy, Author, "Christian Home Educators' Curriculum Manual"
