Book Reviews of The Death of Common Sense: How Law is Suffocating America
Book Review: A must read
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read this book 5 years ago. Since then I've purchased and given away over a dozen copies. When I give the book away, I challenge the reader to "don't get mad, do something about it". The examples that Howard uses illustrates how bureaucratic our society has become and with that how scarce "common sense" has become. It's a great illustration that the balance between "free will of the people" and unchecked bureaucracy continues to tip in the bureaucrats favor.
