Classical Liberal Constitution or Classical Liberal Construction?
It is a great honor to be invited to comment on Richard Epstein’s magnificent new book, The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government. Its remarkable scope, depth, and profundity handily place it among the leading works in the ever-burgeoning field of constitutional theory. The fact that no one will be surprised by this achievement should make us work harder not to diminish it; Richard Epstein is a national treasure who is dangerously easy to take for granted.
