Book Synopsis
By considering both the costs and benefits of potential policy solutions, the author stresses that real-world decision making is best served by an explicit recognition of as many trade-offs as possible. He incorporates developments in policy debates, including the rise of new paternalism, or policies designed to protect people from themselves.

Trade Review
"With shrewd verbal reasoning, Harold Winter brings home a number of concepts the general public has difficulty digesting.... This precious little book will become widespread reading in basic courses on economics, but every sensible person interested in societal matters and not familiar with law and economics issues should also read it." (History of Economic Ideas)"
