- Summary:
- Tracing the rise of natural law doctrine from neoclassical economics, David F. Prindle examines the interplay of ideas about politics, economics, and law in American society from the pre-revolutionary era to the eve of the September 11 attacks. He argues that while the United States was founded on liberalism, there is constant tension between two ideals of the liberal tradition: capitalism and democracy.
