 Liability: The Legal Revolution and its Consequences
Peter Huber
Basic Books, July 1990
A comprehensive history of the growth of liability in recent decades. Huber details
the process by which "liberal legalists" changed the face of American law. From
the growth of tort to the "death of contract," Huber traces not only the legal
changes, but their effects, including decreased innovation and safety. The book
also includes a great discussion of how, ironically, the tort system has gone
after people who "work on the front line to help others"--teachers, doctors, and
police officers.
