One Man, One Creed

Mises Review 2, No. 2 (Summer 1996)

THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FRAUD
Clint Bolick
Cato Institute, 1996, x + 170 pgs.

Clint Bolick, it appears, does not suffer from the vice of false modesty. Mr. Bolick attracted considerable attention owing to his opposition to Lani Guiniers nomination as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights; his relentless campaign against her support for proportional representation helped lead Clinton to withdraw her nomination.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE: AND OTHER LESSONS CHILDREN TEACH US
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Simon & Schuster, 1996, 319 pgs.
 

Hillary Clinton is, to say the least, a controversial person; but a reader who had never heard of her before taking up this volume might never suspect it. She appears here in the tones of sweet reason, doling out, in roughly equal doses, banal advice about children and stories, meant to be charming, about her family.

PUBLIC POLICY AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE: MARKET INCENTIVES VERSUS GOVERNMENT PLANNING
Randall G. Holcombe
Greenwood Press, 1995, 190 pp.
 

Randall Holcombe identifies a paradoxical feature of much public argument about economic issues. Socialism has collapsed. The Workers Paradise is no more, and even professed socialists rush to proclaim their allegiance to the market. (A socialist market, they say, will work better than a capitalist one.)

The Right To Trespass?

Mises Review 2, No. 1 (Spring 1996)

The Rockford Institute, 1995, 232 pgs.
 

The twenty-three contributors to this anthology do not share a uniform point of view. Nevertheless, a distinctive Chronicles approach to immigration emerges from the volume.
