The Conservative movement has been systematically turning back a centurys worth of liberal gains and protections found in the common lawthe areas of law that affect most of the everyday activities of ordinary people.  Throughout the twentieth century  contract  property  and personal injury law evolved to take more account of social condition and the less powerful members of American society. Contracts were interpreted in light of common sense  property ownership was subjected to reasonable-use provisions  and consumers were protected against dangerous products.  But all that is changing. Conservatives have a clear agenda to turn back the clock on the common law to increase the rights of big business. Some significant inroads have already protected gun manufacturers from lawsuits and hampered the governments protection of the environment  for example; more rollbacks are on the horizon.  Although this aspect of the Conservative agenda is not as visible as assaults on abortion rights and civil liberties  it may ultimately have even greater impact on our society. Jay M. Feinmans book is an accessible  eye-opening primer  full of vivid examples and case histories. It should be an important new issue in the election debates  and in our thinking about a just American society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950254682165,"sku":"ByrdShop_0807044261","price":59.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780807044261.jpg?v=1770103386","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/unmaking-law-the-conservative-campaign-to-roll-back-the-common-law","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
