Review Quotes:
"Rodgir Cohen presents a modern reform agenda for California that is an important step in the right direction on many fronts: wealth creation, freedom of choice, and a reaffirmation of every person's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

"Californians need more liberty and less government in their lives. This book introduces libertarian solutions at the basic human level of working, learning, living and dying. Most of all, the solutions offered here are a matter of both principle and practicality. The fact that the majority of Californians don't even recognize such problems, or worse yet, see them as signs of success, like traffic congestion and people not working, is the highest recommendation I have for this book."
- Mark Thornton, (Senior Fellow), Mises (or Ludwig von Mises) Institute
"Want to learn how to reduce poverty and increase human welfare? Then read this magisterial book which demonstrates time and again, with great verve and erudition, that freedom and liberty are the best remedies. Occupational licensure, rent controls and one size fits all public schooling hurt those at the bottom of the economic pyramid; competition and free enterprise are the way out of this morass. Cohen's support for death with dignity is yet another magnificent demonstration of the benefits that can accrue to yet another demographic in need of our sympathy and help. This book will not only educate, it will inspire."
