政治家，经济学家和最高法院的工作

托马斯·杰斐逊(Thomas Jefferson)曾写道:“我希望……永远不要看到所有的办公室都转移到华盛顿，远离人们的视线，在那里，它们可能会在市场上更秘密地买卖。”杰斐逊、麦迪逊和其他开国元勋今天会写些什么呢?蒂莫西·p·罗斯(Timothy P. Roth)运用他们的道德和政治哲学、政治经济学以及他们对宪法的理解，认为建国者会告诉我们，联邦政府所做的大部分事情要么是不道德的，要么是违宪的，或者两者兼而有之。

Presented as an engaging thought experiment, Politicians, Economists and the Supreme Court at Work examines the metastasizing federal role through two different means: first, as it relates to the increasing concerns of a contemporary nation, and second, the depth to which that nation’s Founders would be appalled by the actions of their successors. Additionally, the book provides a critical appraisal of the burgeoning federal enterprise and the federal government’s ‘on-, off-, and off-off’ budget activities – ultimately answering the question, ‘What would the Founders do?’

这本书的性质和时效性将吸引道德和政治哲学家，政治学家，历史学家，经济学家，学者和学生。此外，文本的可访问性提供了一个引人注目的阅读，这将激起广大公众的利益。
