The Sherman Act is similar in the economics sphere to the Bill of Rights in the personal sphere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My main interest, however, was in economics, not law.
Individual and national rights to wealth rest on the basis of civil and international law, or at least of custom that has the force of law.
The Supreme Court, in 2005, emphasized and contrasted the great power of Congress under the Commerce Clause to regulate interstate commerce versus much more limited federal power under the discarded Articles of Confederation.
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
Ultimately property rights and personal rights are the same thing.
In fact, a fundamental interdependence exists between the personal right to liberty and the personal right to property.
I wrote my thesis on welfare policy.
A liberty subject to law and subordinate to the common welfare.
Economics is sometimes associated with the study and defense of selfishness and material inequality, but it has an egalitarian and civil libertarian core that should be celebrated.
The issue I highlight in the book is welfare reform.
