My favorite contemporary historian, Niall Ferguson, on the "rule of law" in the United States "becoming the rule of lawyers." Worth three minutes of your day.
I have read several of his books, including the fascinating The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World.
Thought provoking, to say the least. Some of his points are ones I've always suspected, but could never put into words. Thanks for posting this!
