Activist Mahatma Gandhi is best remembered as the freedom fighter who brought the concepts of passive resistance and civil disobedience to the world's attention in his quest for Indian independence from British rule. In the volume Indian Home Rule, Gandhi sets forth a compelling series of arguments against British colonialism in India, giving voice to the viewpoints that fueled his decades-long campaign

State agencies are required to promulgate as rules any "statement of general applicability that implements, interprets, or prescribes law or policy that describes the organization, procedure or practice requirements of any agency. Proposed orders of rulemaking are published by the Secretary of State in the Missouri Register. There is a comment period of at least 30 days for each proposed rule or revision and the proposing department may order a hearing on the rule. The final order of rulemaking must be filed within 90 days of the later of the 30 day comment period or the hearing on the rule and becomes effective 30 days after it is distributed in the Code of State Regulations (CSR). Consequently, most rules become effective approximately 6 months after their initial publication. ; Missouri Legislative Academy

The purpose of this paper is neither to repeat nor to explain the rules of the Supreme Court of Montana, for they are freely available to everyone in printed form and are self-explanatory.

'To Rule Jerusalem' by Roger Friedland and Richard Hecht is reviewed.

I present a brief history of modern public choice analysis as told through the lens of "rules versus authorities", a dichotomy initially formulated by Henry C. Simons, University of Chicago professor to James M. Buchanan. Framing political decision-making as a choice between rules and authorities allows us to identify two necessary, motivating ideas for the emergence of public choice: (1) Governments are not monolithic, omniscient, social calculating machines, but are instead a collection of individuals with various and possibly competing interests. (2) Rather than empowering bureaucracies, economists and political scientists should devise rules that constrain government experts and protect democratic decision-making. Lurking behind both ideas is the legacy of Simons and his antipathy to expert management of the economy. In that antipathy, Simons makes an important contribution to the intellectual history of public choice and to Buchanan's research program.

"Why don't we win the culture wars? Is it really because we're not being inclusive and welcoming enough? Maybe one more compromise will make the world like us? Or maybe if we watch the news and get really really angry, things will change? We obviously need a new playbook. In Rules for Reformers, Douglas Wilson steals the strategies of the radical left and applies them to Christians engaged in the culture war. The result is part combat manual, part cultural manifesto. Rules for Reformers is as insightful as it is provocative"--
