Description: In the 1970s, a group of lawyers from California and the Rockies declared war on a regulatory state they considered too big, too complicated, and a threat to both property rights and capitalism. Their story explains the historical roots of and policy consequences of Reagan-era conservatism--and its legacy in the present day.

Review Quotes: "...the rewards of The Other Rights Revolution are considerable as Decker sheds light on how much can be learned about modern political trends by exploring the legal activism of the 1970s and 1980s." -- The Journal of American History
