Positioning the minimum wage as a fulcrum for the most basic conflict underlying America's unique combination of democracy and a market economy, this title shows how a defense of the minimum wage built on a communal sense of responsibility rests on a strong tradition of civic republicanism and strengthens the hope for a truly democratic society.

Reaches beyond legal doctrines and focuses on four important aspects of change in the American religious landscape: increasing religious diversity; the rise of secularism; the growing political influence of gay and lesbian groups; and the pushback from conservative Christians engendered by these trends.

Like many books, this one argues for a more restrained Supreme Court. Unlike most other books, however, this one grounds that call in a fully elaborated constitutional theory that goes beyond the "counter-majoritarian difficulty."
