Book Description
When it originally appeared, A New Birth of Freedom represented a milestone in Lincoln studies, the culmination of over a half a century of study and reflection by one of America's foremost scholars of American politics. Now reissued on the centenary of Jaffa’s birth with a new foreword by the esteemed Lincoln scholar Allen Guelzo, this long-awaited sequel to Jaffa’s earlier classic, Crisis of the House Divided, offers a piercing examination of the political thought of Abraham Lincoln and the themes of self-government, equality, and statesmanship on the eve of the Civil War. “Four decades ago, Harry Jaffa offered powerful insights on the Lincoln-Douglas debates in his Crisis of the House Divided. In this long-awaited sequel, he picks up the threads of that earlier study in this stimulating new interpretation of the showdown conflict between slavery and freedom in the election of 1860 and the secession crisis that followed. Every student of Lincoln needs to read and ponder this book.”— James M. McPherson, Princeton University “A masterful synthesis and analysis of the contending political philosophies on the eve of the Civil War. A magisterial work that arrives after a lifetime of scholarship and reflection—and earns our gratitude as well as our respect.”— Kirkus Reviews “The essence of Jaffa's case—meticulously laid out over nearly 500 pages—is that the Constitution is not, as Lincoln put it, a 'free love arrangement' held together by passing fancy. It is an indissoluble compact in which all men consent to be governed by majority, provided their inalienable rights are preserved.”— Bret Stephens; The Wall Street Journal

Book Description
One Dream or Two? is a critical historical, constitutional, and philosophical examination of Martin Luther King Jr's understanding of justice--his "Dream"--from within the context of the American political tradition. Nathan Schlueter introduces King's "I Have a Dream Speech" and then isolates elements of his larger vision for social justice--paying special attention to issues of racial discrimination, political economy, civil disobedience, and the relationship between politics and religion--situating those elements within historical, rhetorical, and political context.

Book Description
This work is the third of a four-volume treatise. In seven sections, it covers: The General Welfare Clause: Mutation of Restraint into Plenary Power-Federal Commerce Power: Leviathan's Dragnet-Necessary And Proper: Any Expedient Will Do-Delegation Run Riot: Exorcism Of Separation Of Powers And Ordination Of Presidential Lawmaking-Rambo Power Rampant-The 14th Amendment Amended: Voodoo Jurisdiction-R.I.P. FederalismThe volume is styled, The Kiss of Judice: The Constitution Betrayed-A Coroner's Inquest and Report. 'Judice', Latin, a pun, means 'pertaining to judges'; thus denoting the judicial, Judas-like betrayal of the Constitution. 'Coroner's Inquest' denotes that the work is a study into the death of the Constitution. Your author is the Coroner. He proceeds in the Inquest with the aid of his Coroner's Jury: Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Story, Locke, and Blackstone. The work in this volume is a dialogue between the Coroner and his jury on the various parts of the Constitution covered. The jury members answer the Coroner's questions, for the most part in their own words, drawn from a variety of their written works. Occasionally the Coroner puts words in their mouths; those 'inventions' are shown in brackets in the jurors' answers. The work is novel, because, to the author's knowledge, it is the only 'Constitutional Law' textbook that collects the wisdom of the framers as the Constitution's only authoritative sources; it does not, as most Constitutional Law texts do, emphasize court cases as constitutional authority, for more often than not, the courts have only warped the Constitution. In a broader sense, though, the work is not novel, for it's only an arrangement of the work already done by the jurors. The author is pleased to say that the work, by and large, is not original thought. Its beauty is that it only revives long-forgotten constitutional 'discoveries' as set in the words of the main jurors and some others within 'interviewed'.

Book Description
This volume provides a comprehensive account of Wilhelm Röpke as a liberal political economist and social philosopher. Wilhelm Röpke (1899-1966) was a key protagonist of transatlantic neoliberalism, a prominent public intellectual and a gifted international networker. As an original thinker, he always positioned himself at the interface between political economy and social philosophy, as well as between liberalism and conservatism. Röpke’s endeavors to combine these elements into a coherent whole, as well as his embeddedness in European and American intellectual networks of liberal and conservative thinkers, are a central theme throughout the book. The volume includes papers by international experts from a conference in Geneva on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Röpke’s passing. The first part focuses on new biographical insights into his exile years in Istanbul and Geneva, while the second part discusses his business cycle theory in the context of the Great Depression, and the third part elaborates on his multifaceted social philosophy. Wilhelm Röpke was among the most important thinkers within the classical liberal revival post-WWII, with intriguing tensions between liberalism and conservatism. A highly recommended volume. –– Peter J. Boettke, 2016-2018 President of the Mont Pèlerin Society and Professor of Economics and Philosophy, George Mason University This important collection of papers provides an in-depth assessment of Wilhelm Röpke’s contributions, placing him in the context of his time. A fine contribution. –– Bruce J. Caldwell, Director of the Center for the History of Political Economy and Research Professor of Economics, Duke University

Book Description
This work is the fourth of a four-volume treatise. In twelve sections, it covers: Death of Contract, Full Faith & Credit, 9th Amendment: Only an ‘Inkblot’?, Other Jurisdictional Usurpations by The Court for Itself, Ashcroft Hearings: ‘Pyrrhus Testifies’, Field Test № 1: The Government and Major League Baseball vs. The Taxpayers—Into the Judicial Bull-Pen, Field Test № 2: Joan of Arc vs. IRS—Of Hamster Nostrils, Hexing Studies, and the Government's Official Renunciation of The Federalist, Field Test №3: Anatomy of a Judicial Murder: Of Beanbags, Unnatural Acts with Sheep, and a Judicial Pardon for a Governor, Ex-Cathedra: Perpetuity of Infallible Error, Two Constitutions: The Court's vs. The Founders', Judici Officium Suum Excedenti Non Paretur: Constitutional Convention Anyone? The volume is styled, The Kiss of Judice: The Constitution Betrayed-A Coroner's Inquest and Report. 'Judice', Latin, a pun, means 'pertaining to judges'; thus denoting the judicial, Judas-like betrayal of the Constitution. 'Coroner's Inquest' denotes that the work is a study into the death of the Constitution. Your author is the Coroner. He proceeds in the Inquest with the aid of his Coroner's Jury: Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Story, Locke, and Blackstone. The work in the first two volumes of the treatise is a dialogue between the Coroner and his jury on the various parts of the Constitution covered. The jury members answer the Coroner's questions, for the most part in their own words, drawn from a variety of their written works. Occasionally the Coroner puts words in their mouths; those 'inventions' are shown in brackets in the jurors' answers. In the third and fourth volumes, the lessons of the Founders in Volumes 1 and 2 are applied to cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Most readers will be astonished at how often the supreme court has gotten it wrong either in result, reasoning, or both. The work is novel, because, to the author's knowledge, it is the only 'Constitutional Law' textbook that collects the wisdom of the framers as the Constitution's only authoritative sources; it does not, as most Constitutional Law texts do, emphasize court cases as constitutional authority, for more often than not, the court has only warped the Constitution. In a broader sense, though, the work is not novel, for it's only an arrangement of the work already done by the jurors. The author is pleased to say that the work, by and large, is not original thought.
