Reviews for The Judicial Power of the Purse: How Courts Fund National Defense in Times of Crisis

A significant advance on conventional wisdom about judicial behavior during wartime emergencies. With admirable clarity, Nancy Staudt provides evidence that the judiciary is an active partner in crisis governance - finding ways to put pools of cash at the government's disposal when it does not use its taxing powers aggressively enough. (Eric Posner, University of Chicago Law School)
