<br/><br/> Epstein offers a sophisticated agenda for comprehensive social reform that undoes much of the mischief of the modern regulatory state. At a time when most Americans have come to distrust government at all levels, Epstein shows how a consistent application of economic and political theory allows us to steer between too much and too little.
