"At last, after so many calls for a revival of civil society, comes a practical handbook demonstrating how a broad range of functions and services canbe organized on local levels. In this illuminating work, George Liebmann effectively rebuts myths about devolution by showing that small organizations can safeguard individual and minority rights more effectively than judicial review and that decentralization in fiscal matters can lead to more, not less, queality. This book is the third in a trilogy that makes Liebmann our premier write on the practical aspects of subsidiarity." - Mary Ann Glendon, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law School.
