Charles Murray is the W. H. Brady Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. He came to national attention first in 1984 with Losing Ground and most recently in 2012 with Coming Apart. He lives with his wife in Burkittsville, Maryland.
"By the People is a study in contradictions. It is simultaneously
depressing and inspiring, technical and profound, infuriating and
charming, but always compelling. Charles Murray plays the role of a
liberty-loving Lenin asking the question, 'What is to be done?' To
this end, he offers a practical guide to repairing our broken
constitutional order. It is that rarest of books: a populist
manifesto grounded in fact and logic." --Jonah Goldberg "A road map
to recapture true American exceptionalism. With passion,
brilliance, and a keen sense of the radical essence of what America
means, Murray dismisses what passes for political debate today and
offers an audacious plan to restore the liberty our founders
bequeathed to us." -- Edward Crane, president emeritus, Cato
Institute "Liberty without permission? Selective civil
disobedience? I'm in! At first I balked, but Murray makes a
convincing case that a Madison Fund might scrape away the sclerosis
of the suffocating state. As usual, his original arguments expand
the way I think. When law is so complex that it's indistinguishable
from lawlessness, when the tax code is 4 million words long,
something like systematic disobedience is badly needed." --John
Stossel
