From the publisher

Clint Bolick examines the assault on economic liberty brought about by the 19th century's Slaughter-House Cases. He explains how those cases nullified the privileges or immunities clause of the 14th Amendment and how the repercussions continue to manifest themselves today. Bolick offers hope for the future, however, in describing the current campaign to restore economic liberty as a fundamental civil right.

From the rear cover

The death of economic liberty

One of the worst decisions in the history of American law--and its aftermath today

The battle to restore economic liberty to its rightful place

The nineteenth-century Slaughter-House cases nullified the privileges (or immunities) clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the repercussions continue to manifest themselves today. Foremost among them is the evisceration of one of the most sacred and central rights of Americans: economic liberty, the right to pursue a business or occupation free from arbitrary or excessive government regulation. In Death-Grip: Loosening the Law's Stranglehold over Economic Liberty, Clint Bolick looks at the current state of economic liberty in our country and explains how the consequences of Slaughter-House continue to manifest themselves to this day.

Bolick examines the history and intent of the Fourteenth Amendment and the judicial nullification of the privileges (or immunities) clause in the Slaughter-House cases and their aftermath through the years. Looking at more recent decisions, he sees hope in the recent litigation campaign promulgated by some legal analysts to restore economic liberty as a fundamental civil right. Armed with knowledge, passion, and commitment to principle, he concludes, we can win the battle to restore economic liberty once and for all.
