John Fabian Witt: American Contagions (2021, Yale University Press)

Essentially a law review article in book form

This is essentially a light and accessible law review article, broken into chapters and bound in a book. It was released in 2020, and for its moment, it's pretty accurate and prescient. Witt offers two paths that the U.S. can take in public health, and 5 years later, it's rather depressing to see how rapidly we took the individual liberty-obsessed path he warned about.
