Review of 'Private Property and the Limits of American Constitutionalism' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
whoa! her premise (this is a real-deal scholarly piece of writing, extensively noted etc [i feel the need to mention this not because inclusion in the academy automatically incurs respect in my mind, but because she's done the legwork to support much of the under-documented assertions of left-wing pamphleteers who many find so easy to brush off as nutso]) is that madison hijacked the constitution-writing and based the whole shebang around protection of property rights OVERTLY over and beyond protection of "individual" rights! and that, in fact, this was one of the primary reasons for abolishing the articles of confederation!
talk about bashing a hegemonic notion right on the noodle.
