Common Law Liberalism: The Case Against Government Made Rules | John Hasnas Inspire Us podcast S8EP3

تفصیل

John Hasnas is a Law Professor at Georgetown University Law Center and the McDonough School of Business, and the author of Common Law Liberalism, a bold and original contribution to political and legal philosophy that challenges how we think about law, order, and the role of government in society. This episode is a full breakdown of common law, what it is, where it came from, and why it may be the most important legal system most people have never thought about. John Hasnas makes the case that society has always been capable of regulating itself, and that the invisible framework of common law has been doing the heavy lifting all along while government legislation gets all the credit.
