The Cost of Rights: Why Liberty Depends on Taxes
Laying bare the folly of some of our most cherished myths, this book presents a radically illuminating view of our most precious rights.
The simple insight that all legally enforceable rights cost money reminds us that freedom is not violated by a government that taxes and spends, but requires it and requires a citizenry vigilant about how money is allocated. Drawing from these practical, commonsense notions, The Cost of Rights provides a useful corrective to the all-or-nothing feel of much political debate nowadays (The Economist)."
