Contents:

The Subprime Challenge -- Why a Free and Democratic Society Needs Law -- Why Consumer Protection Promotes the Free Market -- Why Private Property Needs a Legal Infrastructure -- Why Conservatives Like Regulation and Liberals Like Markets -- Democratic Liberty.

Summary: "Almost everyone who follows politics or economics agrees on one thing: more regulation means less freedom. Joseph William Singer, one of the world's most respected experts on property law, explains why this understanding of regulation is simply wrong. While analysts as ideologically divided as Alan Greenspan and Joseph Stiglitz have framed regulatory questions as a matter of governments versus markets, Singer reminds us of what we've willfully forgotten: government is not inherently opposed to free markets or private property, but is, in fact, necessary to their very existence." -- Book jacket.
