Description
Book Synopsis: How the Right is subverting the legal protections of consumers, workers, injury victims, and the environment. There is an undercover war going on in America that impacts everyone’s life far more than has been reported. The Conservative movement has been systematically turning back a century’s worth of liberal gains and protections found in the common law—the areas of law that affect most of the everyday activities of ordinary people.
Throughout the twentieth century, contract, property, and personal injury law evolved to take more account of social condition and the less powerful members of American society. Contracts were interpreted in light of common sense, property ownership was subjected to reasonable-use provisions, and consumers were protected against dangerous products.
But all that is changing. Conservatives have a clear agenda to turn back the clock on the common law to increase the rights of big business. Some significant inroads have already protected gun manufacturers from lawsuits and hampered the government’s protection of the environment, for example; more rollbacks are on the horizon.
Although this aspect of the Conservative agenda is not as visible as assaults on abortion rights and civil liberties, it may ultimately have even greater impact on our society. Jay M. Feinman’s book is an accessible, eye-opening primer, full of vivid examples and case histories. It should be an important new issue in the election debates, and in our thinking about a just American society.
Details
Are you aware of the undercover war that is happening in America? There is a silent battle going on that affects each and every one of us. The Conservative movement is systematically eroding the legal protections that have been put in place for consumers, workers, injury victims, and the environment. It's time to uncover the truth and take a stand against this injustice.
The common law, which affects the everyday activities of ordinary people, has been steadily stripped of its fairness and protections. Throughout the twentieth century, laws evolved to consider social conditions and protect the less powerful members of society. But now, the rights of big business are taking precedence over the well-being of the people.
Contracts are no longer interpreted with common sense, property ownership is being exploited without reasonable-use provisions, and dangerous products are being forced onto unsuspecting consumers. We can't let this continue. It's time to fight back and reclaim what is rightfully ours.
While the attacks on abortion rights and civil liberties are more visible, the erosion of the common law has the potential to impact our society on an even greater scale. It's time to shed light on this issue and bring it to the forefront of public discourse. Jay M. Feinman's book, "Un-making Law: The Conservative Campaign to Roll Back the Common Law," is a powerful tool that provides a deep understanding of the issue at hand.
This accessible and eye-opening primer is filled with vivid examples and case histories that will leave you motivated and ready to take action. It's time to demand justice and equality in our legal system. Together, we can create a just American society.
Take action now and join the movement to protect our legal rights and preserve the common law for future generations.
