12.21.2021 - By The Heartland Institute
Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Philip Hamburger, Maurice and Hilda Friedman Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and President of the New Civil Liberties Alliance, to discuss Purchasing Submission: Conditions, Power, and Freedom. They talk about how the federal government increasingly regulates by using money and other benefits to induce private parties and states to submit to its conditions. They also chat about how expansive the problem is, and how conditions need to be recognized as a new mode of power by which government induces Americans to submit to a wide range of unconstitutional arrangements.
