A History of Repeated Injuries

The Cato Institute’s new edited volume, A History of Repeated Injuries, explores simple but profound questions: 250 years after the Declaration of Independence, how successful have we been in escaping tyranny? Are we entirely free of the “injuries and usurpations” of which the Framers complained? Or have modern analogues of old tyrannies crept into our own government, leading to losses of liberty akin to those suffered by the colonists? Four authors of different chapters in the book will discuss these questions with respect to jury rights, taxation, immigration policy, and foreign policy.
