While I was battling through the snow on my way to Ithaca to give a talk about my new book, my old one was prompting quite a stir over at the Volokh Conspiracy. Jonathan Adler has done a lengthy, critical review of the book for the journal Regulation, published by the Cato Institute, and that's what touched off all the commentary.

Today I start jury duty, which is a bit of a complication, but I still may get around to doing a reply. In the meantime, feel free to post any reactions to Adler's review here (or at the Volokh Conspiracy).
