Liberty's Nemesis examines the dramatic growth of the administrative state, particularly under the Obama administration, and its consequences for American democracy. The editors and contributors argue that the expansion of federal powers beyond constitutional limits, delegation to unaccountable agencies, and insulation of civil servants undermine self-government, individual liberty, and economic freedom. The book warns that unchecked administrative power threatens to transform the U.S. into a statist regime similar to some European governments. It calls for urgent efforts to restore constitutional balance and protect the original vision of limited government.
