221 pages. ; 22 cm. A darkly humorous assessment of what the author identifies as a loss of freedom to make sense of daily choices in America cites such dilemmas as inane safety warnings and the growing powerlessness of business and educational leaders, in a call-to-action that argues for more empowering, common-sense boundaries of law. The boundaries of law -- The freedom to take risks -- The authority to be fair -- The boundaries of lawsuits -- Bureaucracy can't teach -- The freedom to judge others -- Responsibility in Washington -- The freedom to make a difference. Philip K. Howard.
