The Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship has produced a monograph version of Timothy Sandefur’s To Pursue and Obtain Happiness and Safety, now available at cost at Amazon. In the monograph, Sandefur discusses economic liberty’s up-and-down legal fortunes, as the American founders’ original protections of productive freedom, property and contract rights came under attack during the Progressive era and the New Deal, leading up to our own era of mixed premises and politicized business.
Sandefur spoke last semester at Rockford College on the topic of “Market Entrepreneurs and Political Entrepreneurs: Some Legal and Constitutional Issues.” He is a Senior Staff Attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, a public interest law firm based in Sacramento, California, and the author of Cornerstone of Liberty: Property Rights in 21st Century America.
My two-part video interview with Sandefur after his talk is viewable at the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship‘s site.
