In Drugs and Thugs, Russell Crandall uncovers the full history of this war that has lasted more than a century. As a scholar and a high-level national security advisor to both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, he provides an essential view of the economic, political, and human impacts of U.S. drug policies. Backed by extensive research, lucid and unbiased analysis of policy, and his own personal experiences, Crandall takes readers from Afghanistan to Colombia, to Peru and Mexico, to Miami International Airport and the border crossing between El Paso and Juarez to trace the complex social networks that make up the drug trade and drug consumption.

He applies his principles to contemporary controversies such as the distribution of health care, affirmative action, assisted suicide, and genetic engineering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany philosophers would not be offended by the charge that philosophy is not a practical pursuit. Dworkin, a professor at New York University and University College in London, is deeply offended. He insists that philosophers can clarify the foundations of law to build a better world...In \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e, Dworkin attempts...first to establish principles and then apply them to today's vexing issues, including health care, campaign finance and affirmative action. -- Mitchell Goodman * Raleigh News \u0026amp; Observer *\u003cbr\u003eThere is much that is brilliant in Dworkin's development of [his] themes. He reconceptualizes egalitarianism so...it corrects only inequalities for which people are not responsible...[Dworkin] presents an original and comprehensive political theory that claims to unite equality not only with freedom but also with other allegedly competing values, such as democracy, community and the good life. And he repeatedly connects his abstract speculations to specific controversies from contemporary political life. This is what political philosophy should do, and Dworkin does it better than anyone else now writing. -- Thomas Hurka * Toronto Globe and Mail *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin's aim in \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e is to rescue the 'endangered' value of equality and to accommodate it to personal responsibility...[His] position is what he calls an 'ethical individualism' embodying two principles: it is equally important, for each human life, that it be successful; and every person has a special responsibility for the success of his own life. If you take both these ideas seriously, you will be driven, so Dworkin argues, to demand equality of resources. This ideal is the core of the book, and he defends it in impressive detail against its main rivals--equality of welfare and equality of opportunity. * The Economist *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a work of the first importance, by an outstanding philosopher of politics and law who is the most eloquent, thoughtful and judicious spokesman of the new centre-left-liberal position which in recent years has come to be called 'the third way'--a label conferred and expounded by lesser minds, but here given what is not only the deepest and most compelling statement it has yet received, but a statement which is, in addition, genuinely deep and compelling. -- A.C. Grayling * Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin is that rare creature, a public intellectual. He writes with clarity and economy, and while he is not hard to understand, he demands maximum concentration from his readers…He sets out not just to persuade us to think differently, but also to act differently. He wants to change not just our beliefs  but our behavior too…\u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e is a book rich in arguments. Every objection is debated into submission; every alternative is pondered until its inadequacy becomes clear to the author. -- Anthony Julius * Sunday Telegraph *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e…is…extraordinarily impressive: supple, suave and enviably deft, like all his work, and in its cumulative effect quite exceptionally illuminating…[Dworkin] has been in many ways the most systematic moral, political and legal thinker of the past three decades in the Anglophone world. He may lack the personal authority or the singularity of mind of John Rawls. But on this evidence he has a substantially broader range of ambition, a set of forceful moral intuitions, a speed and boldness of intellectual manoeuvre, and a combination of energy and sheer pertinacity that are all his own. -- John Dunn * Times Higher Education Supplement *\u003cbr\u003eFor Dworkin fans, indeed for any analytical political philosopher who rejects the 'new pragmatism' linguistic turn and relishes a complex argumentative structure, this book will provide many hours of intellectual stimulation. Just as we who are not ourselves great chess players or mathematicians can admire the minds of great chess players or mathematicians, so even skeptical readers may admire Dworkin's elegant and complex sense of how philosophers can do their work. -- Lief Carter * Law and Politics Review *\u003cbr\u003eFor the last two decades, Ronald Dworkin has been developing answers to...questions [of public policy] as part of a powerful and surprising response to the larger question of how we should reconcile liberty with equality. Unlike many partisans of equality, he thinks conservatives are right to hold individuals largely responsible for their own fates. But unlike many partisans of liberty, he nevertheless believes in substantial governmental intervention to bring about more equality. And, unlike both, he argues that, in the deepest sense, equality and liberty are never truly at odds. In \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e, Dworkin has brought together this surprising theory and some of its applications...If we care about having a rational public discourse about the many contests that seem to pit liberty against equality, we owe his book a careful reading. -- K. Anthony Appiah * New York Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e, Ronald Dworkin finally presents his political theory in a form convenient for the general reader, stripped of the specialized arguments about jurisprudence on which he has built his reputation. The issue in \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e is not how judges should decide cases, but what kind of equality between individuals government should secure and maintain. -- Daniel Choi * Independent Review *\u003cbr\u003e[Dworkin] explodes the platitudes that have traditionally been used to determine whether someone's views on equality were \"sound\" and he manages to map out a terrain on which [an] honest and respectable argument about equality can be conducted. These are major achievements, and the papers collected in \u003ci\u003eSovereign Virtue\u003c\/i\u003e must be regarded now as classics in political philosophy. -- Jeremy Waldron * London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin's prolific scholarly and journalistic writings have defined the intellectual agenda for academic liberals in law schools as well as philosophy and political-science departments for a quarter of a century…Ronal Dworkin is a powerful and persuasive advocate of the view that law and politics do indeed at crucial junctures depend on moral philosophy's services. -- Peter Berkowitz * National Review *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin has been a leading contributor to the egalitarian literature for 20 years. This volume collects and develops his most important work in the area and would be of immense interest for this reason alone. In addition, Dworkin labors tirelessly to connect his theoretical analysis to concrete policy prescriptions. The second half of the book provides one of the most impressive extended examples of applied political theory in the egalitarian literature…Dworkin's defense of resourcist theory is quite persuasive on its own terms, and it forces the reader to confront Dworkin's account of responsibility for preferences and the related implications for egalitarian justice. -- Alexander Kaufman * Social Service Review *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin's procedure is bolder, his ambition to build theory stronger, and the range of application of his views much wider…But what is perhaps most philosophically striking about Dworkin is how insistently systematic his vision is. It is not merely that he builds interesting, and sometimes compelling, connections between the book's first seven chapters on theory and the last seven…It is, rather, in his almost platonic argument for a kind of unity of the virtues that the deepest aspirations of his thought can be seen. -- James Lindemann Nelson * Second Opinion *\u003cbr\u003eThe first half contains a veritable flood of novel and inspired theoretical ideas; the second half applies these exciting ideas in surprisingly conventional ways. -- Will Kymlicka * ISUMA *\u003cbr\u003eHe offers a powerful defense of the market, along Mesesian lines…Dworkin is not the only writer to raise these issues, but he does so in a particularly effective way: At many points, Dworkin's book proves a valuable quarry for those aiming to defend the market. * The Mises Review *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important book whose appearance might very well fuel the \"Fourth Great Awakening.\" Arguably it is far more fundamental than the narrow \"morality\" that concerns Himmelfarb. * Future Survey *\u003cbr\u003eDworkin argues that equality is the \"sovereign virtue\" in the sense that it is the \"special and indispensable\" value that political authority must promote…This work will be frequently cited because of the importance of the papers and the convenience of having them collected in one volume; it is an essential text for academic libraries. -- J.

To listen to Silicon Valley barons, there''s nothing any of us can do about it. In this riveting work, Joshua A. T. Fairfield calls their bluff. He provides a fresh look at law, at what it actually is, how it works, and how we can create the kind of laws that help humans thrive in the face of technological change. He shows that law can keep up with technology because law is a kind of technology - a social technology built by humans out of cooperative fictions like firms, nations, and money.

It is erudite, but also highly accessible. It is consequential yet still laced with commendable levity.

Recent decades have seen a shift in power away from legal institutions and towards private actors and the technologies they control.

Ran Hirschl's superb treatment remedies both these defects, with results that should be profoundly troubling to all partisans of independent courts and judicial review. His rich comparative treatments of the judicialization of politics in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and South Africa is informed by an masterful grasp of the historical and theoretical literature on the US. Hirschl makes a convincing case that courts do little, if anything, for advancing progressive notions of social justice that are not achieved by democratic politics. Courts protect powerful economic and social interests by taking controversial issues out of politics and off the table, thus moving democracies toward unaccountable juristocracy. Hirschl is to be congratulated for producing this long overdue study. It should be mandatory reading for constitutional and democratic theorists the world over, as well as anyone who has a hand in institutional design of new democracies. -- Ian Shapiro, Yale University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTowards Juristocracy\u003c\/i\u003e is one of only a handful of major works on comparative constitutional law. Its account of the origins of modern systems of judicial review in efforts to entrench specific social and economic programs significantly advances our understanding, and its discussion of the way in which constitutional courts around the world have become involved in resolving major controversies about the most basic questions nations face sheds new light on Bush v. Gore. This is one of the most important books about judicial review in recent years. -- Mark Tushnet, Georgetown University Law Center\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most momentous global transformations of the last 30 years has been the spread of political systems in which courts exercise sweeping constitutional powers. Ran Hirschl's \u003ci\u003eTowards Juristocracy\u003c\/i\u003e is the first substantial empirical inquiry into the consequences of this great shift.

Offering us the gold standard in legal-developmental collaboration, it presses us to consider the role the developmental sciences should play in shaping the law affecting children...What makes the book so valuable is that it can be relied upon by judges, legislatures, lawyers, and policymakers to enhance the sophistication with which they consider the very issues that they are currently being called on to decide.

All of us arguing about how to improve schools could use some of that. -- Jay Mathews * Washington Post *\u003cbr\u003eLabaree is perceptive and lucid in presenting his view that individual self-interest is a driving force in schooling and school reform. Parents are, in principle, committed to equal education for all, but in practice pursue educational advantages for their child. This pursuit of advantage often blunts the common good. Indeed, Labaree's skeptical realism is well taken in this continuing age of consumerism. -- J. L. DeVitis * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eIn this important book, the skeptical, contrarian, and cheerfully pessimistic Stanford education professor Labaree trenchantly exposes the true purposes behind the establishment and the reforms of American public schools and explains why the institution can never fulfill the dreams of those who use it or those who attempt to improve it...Americans want an egalitarian democracy, but they prize individualism; they demand utility, but they are forever socially optimistic. Our school system manifests these contradictory values in abundance, so no matter how often it's reformed, it must perpetually thwart itself. -- Benjamin Schwarz * The Atlantic *","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865480081751,"sku":"9780674063860","price":19.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780674063860.jpg?v=1722274168"},{"product_id":"not-enough-9780674241398","title":"Not Enough","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo one has written with more penetrating skepticism about the history of human rights than Samuel Moyn…In \u003ci\u003eNot Enough\u003c\/i\u003e, Moyn asks whether human-rights theorists and advocates, in the quest to make the world better for all, have actually helped to make things worse…This book, like the author’s last, is the rare academic study that is sure to provoke a wider discussion about important political and economic questions. -- Adam Kirsch * Wall Street Journal *\u003cbr\u003e[Moyn] effectively provincializes an ineffectual and obsolete Western model of human rights…Moyn’s book is part of a renewed attention to the political and intellectual ferment of decolonialisation, and joins a sharpening interrogation of the liberal order and the institutions of global governance created by, and arguably for, Pax Americana…[The book’s] critical—and self-critical—energy is consistently bracing, and is surely a condition of restoring the pursuit of equality and justice as an indispensable modern tradition. -- Pankaj Mishra * London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eNo one has done more than Samuel Moyn to unsettle the story of human rights as a triumphal march of upgrades from Magna Carta to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights…\u003ci\u003eNot Enough\u003c\/i\u003e asks us to rethink what human rights might accomplish if they were deployed not simply to set limits on state power, but to harness that power for the purpose of fostering economic equality. -- Benjamin Nathans * New York Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003e[S]peaks to the urgency of our contemporary politics… In \u003ci\u003eNot Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World\u003c\/i\u003e, Moyn suggests that our current vocabularies of global justice—above all our belief in the emancipatory potential of human rights—need to be discarded if we are work to make our vastly unequal world more equal… Best read as a companion history to Piketty’s \u003ci\u003eCapital in the Twenty-First Century\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNot Enough\u003c\/i\u003e explains how—across the fields of development, moral advocacy, philosophy, and governmental policy—the ideal of sufficiency gradually supplanted what was once an ideal of equality for all… The apparent paradox exposed in \u003ci\u003eNot Enough\u003c\/i\u003e is what makes the book another \u003ci\u003etour de force\u003c\/i\u003e: what are we to make of the fact that our age of human rights was coterminous with the age of neoliberalism? …Moyn implores us to consider: what is the value content of justice in our age of human rights, and how do we try to rectify inequality, if the social and economic rights enumerated in international human rights law put no ceiling on wealth creation? -- Patrick William Kelly * Los Angeles Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eWhy do the grimmest obscenities of economic inequality barely register on the human rights agenda?
