Crisis and Leviathan
Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government
Everyone knows the U.S. government has grown in size, scope, and power during the past century—but how did this enormous transformation happen?

Crisis and Leviathan has the answers.

By manipulating crises, both real and imagined, governments extend remorseless controls—to the great detriment of human liberty and wellbeing. Americans have suffered this growth in government in the past. And, unfortunately, during this Coronavirus pandemic, we may now be witnessing one of the greatest expansions ever.

Grounded in historical evidence, the renowned economist and historian Robert Higgs explains how during critical episodes in the history of the United States, the political class has used everything from half-truths to outright deception to extend the reach of government power. But citizens can reverse this suffocating process that is threatening our country.

Crisis and Leviathan makes compelling reading for those seeking to understand the slow destruction of America’s political economy—and what needs be done to restore liberty to her people.
