Dr. Robert Higgs is Senior Fellow in Political Economy at The Independent Institute, and editor of The Independent Review. He is author of Crises & Leviathan, Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government (published by Princeton University Press). Government has grown in size and scope during this past century, but how and why? Is this growth inherent in the nature of government? Dr. Higgs shows that the main reason lies in national “crises” (real or imagined), including economic upheavals (e.g., the Great Depression) and especially. The result is ever increasing government power which endures long after each crisis has passed, impinging on both civil and economic liberties and fostering extensive corporate welfare and pork.
