AEI is rereleasing some of its most prescient and groundbreaking works from its earliest thinkers and innovators. These books, part of a series called AEI Classics, are available for download as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
In these essays, the author discusses topics as diverse as who owns the minerals at the bottom of the seas, why a good education should not prepare us for life, and how great commercial nations--including our own--show a "dire ignorance" of the link between property and liberty. Through them all runs a guiding theme--that our constitution is much deeper and richer than most Americans understand.
Robert A. Goldwin is a resident scholar of constitutional studies at AEI.
