Book Description

Too many laws, too many lawyers--that's the necessary consequence of a complex society, or so conventional wisdom has it. Countless pundits insist that any call for legal simplification smacks of nostalgia, sentimentality, or naiveté. But the conventional view, the noted legal scholar Richard Epstein tells us, has it exactly backward. The richer texture of modern society allows for more individual freedom and choice. And it allows us to organize a comprehensive legal order capable of meeting the technological and social challenges of today on the basis of just six core principles. In this book, Epstein demonstrates how.

The first four rules, which regulate human interactions in ordinary social life, concern the autonomy of the individual, property, contract, and tort. Taken together these rules establish and protect consistent entitlements over all resources, both human and natural. These rules are backstopped by two more rules that permit forced exchanges on payment of just compensation when private or public necessity so dictates. Epstein then uses these six building blocks to clarify many intractable problems in the modern legal landscape. His discussion of employment contracts explains the hidden virtues of contracts at will and exposes the crippling weaknesses of laws regarding collective bargaining, unjust dismissal, employer discrimination, and comparable worth. And his analysis shows how laws governing liability for products and professional services, corporate transactions, and environmental protection have generated unnecessary social strife and economic dislocation by violating these basic principles.

Simple Rules for a Complex World offers a sophisticated agenda for comprehensive social reform that undoes much of the mischief of the modern regulatory state. At a time when most Americans have come to distrust and fear government at all levels, Epstein shows how a consistent application of economic and political theory allows us to steer a middle path between too much and too little.

Complex.......2006-03-06

A quick aside: it's evident to me that I'm displaying some partiality in my rating of political books: libertarian books are netting higher scores than conservative and liberal fare (that being said, I've also overcompensated on some non-libertarian books that in retrospect are closer to trash than I originally thought). Readers of a different political persuasion may do well to add or subtract a star accordingly.

That being said, Simple Rules is a fine book. The thesis, that we can govern the world with much easier legal structures than currently exist, is harmless enough and non-controversial enough, and the author elaborates on it well. The rules produced are--unsurprisingly--a legal code to make libertarians savor; nonetheless, Epstein's arguments are aimed at a wider audience than his fan base.

We are seeing a more mature Epstein here: indeed, in an early chapters he mentions how he has come to peace with the idea of utilitarian justifications for rights, the typical libertarian rite of passage. Accordingly, his arguments here are of that vein: broad and utilitarian, appealing to shared values, written in a commonsensical, albeit dense, manner.

Professor Epstein, as usual, doesn't coddle his readers. Sometimes the economic arguments (which in themselves show a lovely enrichment of his own thought) will slow one down or force rereading. Occasionally we flail, unable to grasp what the author's trying to get across. The pure number of arguments summoned gives the reader pause. But mostly the picture is clear--it just takes a little work to bring it into focus.

Epstein's tone is often lax, informal, but not excessively so. Lawyer speak is made accessible.

The first few chapters describe the theoretical virtues of simplicity, and the groundwork for developing a legal system. Each succeeding chapter centers on a particular rule, starting with some Lockean postulates and ending with corporate law, product liability, and others. Epstein bolsters his position with footnotes and flurries of arguments. The most satisfying section is the last, when the professor challenges his opposition, notably Ronald Dworkin.

I suppose I would have liked more theoretical investigation--so much of the book is experiential pragmatism (which is also its charm), I would have liked to push Epstein further into theory. What is complexity? Why do laws become complex? What is a working definition for simplicity?

Professor Epstein is certainly up to the task.

Regardless, the main criticism I'll level is a typical anarchist response to the minarchist. Epstein's unhappy with the current American legal code, so he critiques the product and proposes a better one. I agree with that critique, but the larger problem is that the legal institution is without the proper incentives: there is insufficient reward for the production of good law--ergo the bad law Epstein critiques.

And I propose that what is needed is not primarily a better product (though that would be a good), but an institutional structure that makes it advantageous to produce a better product. In short, we need a market in law. (Though how we get there from here is the even larger problem--I have no satisfactory answer. The world never did change easily.)

It's a good book, though I can't imagine many outside the legal field enjoying it. I shall find it useful as a collection of brief, powerful arguments for particular positions, easily referenced.

A brilliantly argued fix for our legal system and society.......2003-11-21

Richard Epstein takes us back to first principles to construct a legal system based on simple rules as an antidote to the ridiculously complex legal rules of today, with its attendant sky-high cost of administration. He approaches the task from the perspective of maximizing society's gain, and first derives the six basic rules that should underpin all law:

- Self-ownership: Each person owns himself and his labor

- First possession: Property is created, and owned, by the first person that uses it.

- Voluntary exchange

- Protection against agression

- Limited privilege in cases of necessity

- Just compensation when taking private property for public use

Based on these six rules, he then proceeds to analyze existing law, which in many instances harms society instead of protecting it or maximizing gains. These areas include labor laws, environmental legislation, consumer protection, liability, employment discrimination, and many more. Time after time the current system is found wanting.

This book is an indispensable tool in understanding how laws should be made, and guides us back to the kind of society our founders envisioned - a society of free people, able to make their own decisions, free to contract, and free of the yoke of an intrusive and tyrannical state.

Cost-benefit analysis in defense of liberty?.......2001-05-23

Prof. Richard Epstein has written a brilliant book here. His thesis, at heart, is that the world operates more efficiently and productively when legal rules are "simple" than when they are complex.

In order to elaborate this thesis, he spells out just what he means by "simple," proposes a handful of simple rules himself in various areas of law (property, contracts, torts), and shows how they play out in action (in, e.g., labor contracting, employment discrimination, and products liability). In each case he argues, with much success, that it just wouldn't be efficient to try to improve on the results provided by the "simple" rules.

I especially recommend this book, and Epstein's work generally, to law students. Epstein's knowledge of the law is thorough and deep; One-Ls will find it useful to keep it handy for the whole year.

So why only four stars? Partly because I think cost-benefit analysis is neither an adequate defense of liberty against the regulatory State nor an adequate foundation for law; and partly because Epstein's reliance on such analysis leads him toward (though he stops short of actually arriving at) positions I regard as non- or anti-libertarian.

This review isn't the place to critique consequentialism; for a more or less standard and (I think) decisive critique, the reader is referred to W.D. Ross's _Foundations of Ethics_, which, after sixty-odd years, is still one of the most judicious works on ethics ever written. Suffice it to say that I think we can increase efficiency by pursuing justice, but not vice versa; consequentialism and its subspecies utilitarianism seem to me to be not so much ways of answering moral questions as of never raising them. The "maximization" of happiness is one ground of moral obligation, but not the only one. (And in general, I simply fail to understand recent libertarian interest in an ethical school founded by a man who regarded natural rights as "nonsense" and imprescriptible natural rights as "nonsense upon stilts.")

More serious, from a libertarian point of view, is that Epstein comes within inches of allowing a positive role for antitrust law. Now, mind you, he doesn't _quite_ do so. Indeed he calls for the repeal of the Sherman Act and related legislation, and he opposes the use of government power to distinguish between "corporate combinations that increase market competition" (p. 125) from those that do otherwise. (Note that his understanding of "competition" is thoroughly Chicago-school, a point for which Austrian theorists have quite properly taken him to task.)

Yet his only ground for this latter opposition is merely that government agencies can't _tell_ which are which. Some corporate mergers, he says, may actually increase efficiency. Well, what about those that don't? Is he opposed in principle to such "inefficient" mergers? Would it be okay if the government stepped in to kill a merger that _was_ clearly "inefficient" by Epstein's standards? Or does he think there would be something morally wrong with outlawing certain uses of people's justly acquired property merely because somebody can think of a more "efficient" use?

Unfortunately Epstein's consequentialist approach prevents him from giving the standard libertarian answer. It seems that, for him, the rights of property and trade are dependent not merely on their promotion of "happiness" but, more specifically, on their service to the aggregate good -- where, most significantly, this "good" is apparently defined quite independently of justice.

So I have to knock off one star for inadequate moral foundations. But don't let that stop you from reading the book: Epstein's cost-benefit approach is solid as far as it goes. It just doesn't go far enough.

Not So Simple.......2001-02-07

Epstein is a brilliant guy with a great idea - simple rules are better for society than complex rules. At least, that's what I think he says. This book is NOT for the masses. Here's a sample from page 30: "Although I have from time to time been of different minds on this proposition, I have now made peace with myself and believe that these consequentialist theories--that is, those which look to human happiness--offer the best justificatory apparatus for demarcating the scope of state power from the area of individual choice." Huh? Mr. Epstein, would you consider a comic book version for the rest of us?

An outline for reforming U.S. civil law.......2001-01-29

SUMMARY: Epstein, a law professor of libertarian inclination, suggests reforms of U.S. civil law, which wastes too much time and money producing and administering complicated laws in pursuit of unrealistically high standards of justice. This legal system's meddling in the economy is as counterproductive as that of communist regimes'. Epstein contends that civil justice requires only six simple legal principles, concerning property, property rights, contracts, prohibition of force, limited privileges, and eminent domain. The first half of the book discusses these principles in the abstract; the second half applies them to current controversies: labor (affirmative action and discrimination laws), liability of corporate officers, product liability, trading in stocks, limited liability, and environmental regulation. CRITICISMS: 1) The writing is dull. 2) Although Epstein aims to be an "intellectual middleman" between the law and laymen, he too often fails to define legal terms. 3) Epstein doesn't explain how our complicated legal system arose or how reforming it would eliminate the motives that created it. 4) Is the idea that only six simple rules suffice to produce civil justice as utopian as the current pursuit of "perfect" justice? RECOMMENDATION: For those who are frustrated by America's morass of civil justice, here is a framework for reform.

Book Description

In Oklahoma, eighth-poorest state in the nation, poverty is a pressing social problem. Even so, Robert Lee Maril's Waltzing with the Ghost of Tom Joad is the first comprehensive analysis of poverty in the state.

Skillfully combining ethnography with statistical analysis, Maril portrays the lives of poverty-stricken Oklahomans, many of them children, minorities, and the elderly. Exploring myths about the poor and discussing the facts behind these myths, Maril discusses the real causes of poverty in the state, especially low-wage labor. He concludes by presenting a public-policy agenda that would benefit the poor directly and, in so doing, improve the lives of all Oklahomans.

i'm in this book.......2001-09-20

i'm one of the cases in this book and was quite pleased with how it turned out. hopefully this will open up people's eyes to the fact that the state we live in has no concern for its poor. luckily i was able to rise above the circumstances and become "lower class" instead of "poverty stricken".

Still poor after all these years.......2001-02-17

Question: What do most service sector jobs, hog farms, chicken plants, and so-called right-to-work laws have in common? Answer: All do, or will, contribute to the perpetuation of poverty in Oklahoma, already the eighth-poorest state in the nation. This book should be a best seller in Oklahoma. It won't be, but it should. Amazingly, as we enter the 21st century, this is the first comprehensive study and analysis of poverty in a state that has consistently experienced a poverty rate above the national average. Using ethnography with statistical analysis, Maril has explored the age-old myths about the poor, discusses the facts behind the myths, and points to the real causes of poverty, expecially low-wage labor, which has been the hallmark of most state so-called "economic development" programs. Maril debunks such myths as the poor being lazy, refusing to work, and on welfare. Among the 600,000 or so Oklahoman's that are poor, some 20% of the population, 52% work and the majority do not, repeat, do not receive welfare assistance. Maril followed twelve poor Oklahoma families over a four-year period and found obstacles such as poor health and a lack of medical insurance, the lack of quality childcare, concerns for personal safety, and low-paying jobs as major contributors to poverty. The author had four major objestives when writing the book. First, to describe the poor and poverty in Oklahoma in detail using historical trends and patterns. Second, to examine the myths, typically accepted as facts, about the poor in Oklahoma. Third, to define the real causes of poverty. Fourth, to propose a public policy agenda that would correct the costly and ineffective system now in effect in Oklahoma. He met, and exceeded, them all. This is an excellent, timely, thoughtful, highly-readable study of the real causes, and costs, of poverty in Oklahoma. While the author may not have all the answers, and public thought and debate on his conclusions and recommendations will be healthy, one thing is for sure: the continued harping on the economic virtues of more hog farms, chicken plants, so-called right-to-work laws, and other low-wage proposals will not help remove Oklahoma from the Tom Joad era. This book is a perfect example of the real need and importance of university presses. OU press is to be commended for their foresight and courage in making it available to the general public. It will not be a best seller...but it should.
