Description for Rehabilitating Lochner
Hardcover. Provides a survey of the history and background of Lochner versus New York.

Reviews for Rehabilitating Lochner
"An exhilarating book full of interesting new perspectives. Rehabilitating Lochner will change the way people think about the transition from the late nineteenth century to the modern New Deal and Civil Rights regime. It does what good revisionist history should do: see what is familiar in new ways." (Jack M. Balkin, Yale Law School)"
