Of Politics and Economics: The School of Hard Knocks & Gentle Persuasion
"Why have American policymaking and political institutions weakened? Well, let me offer my one-word explanation for this phenomenon: 'Corruption.'"
This book has all the makings of a modern-day thriller: politics, partisanship, kickbacks, fraud, quid pro quos, and, you guessed it—corruption. All are based on historical and public events commented on and analyzed by author and retired judge, Steven I. Platt, during his career as a judge and mediator.
From the bowels of politics, corruption, and partisanship, Of Politics and Economics: The School of Hard Knocks & Gentle Persuasion is a well-chosen collection of Judge Platt's significant and timeless writings on the state of politics and its intersection with law and economics. For 13 years, Judge Platt shared his opinion publicly and unapologetically in a popular column published in The Daily Record in Baltimore and in the judge's own blog, "A Pursuit of Justice: The Intersection of Law, Economics, and Politics."
Published by a self-proclaimed "political junkie," who spent more than 20 years feeding the political machine, then another 30+ years serving on the Bench of the Maryland Judiciary, Judge Platt has witnessed, presided over, and commented on incidents involving local, state, and federal political figures who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law and societal values.
Additional political, economic, and legal musings by Judge Platt are presented in Black Robe Fever: The Role of the Judge in American Society and The Winding Road: Criminal Courts, Civil Matters, and the Ongoing Quest for Access to Justice. Judge Platt's memoir, Lessons Lived and Learned: My Life On and Off the Bench, chronicles his public and private life as a lawyer, judge, and mediator with humility and humor while focusing on some of his most significant cases and experiences.
