The founders of the American Republic set up a remarkable experiment in self-government. Today, debates rage as to the philosophical
legacy of this ongoing experiment. In his new book, Dr. Timothy Roth, Chair of UTEP's Economic and Finance Department, offers a critical analysis of modern liberalism and the
economic theory to which it is conjoined—social welfare theory.
“ An emphatic, well-documented and currently relevant restatement of the Founders’ vision of the self-governing American Republic,
a vision that remains broadly recognizable, even if far from either historical or observed reality. This book should be required
reading for any aspirant to public office, whether executive, legislative, or judicial.”
