Summary
In the 1970s, a group of lawyers from California and the Rockies declared war on a regulatory state they considered too big, too complicated, and a threat to both property rights and capitalism. Their story explains the historical roots of and policy consequences of Reagan-era conservatism--and its legacy in the present day
