The Right to Justice:

The Political Economy of Legal Services in the United States, by Charles K. Rowley (1992)

In a tour de force, The Right to Justice places the US federal legal services program on the scholarly rack of public choice and offers a convincing, unique explanation of the political market forces that have subverted a well-meaning attempt to assist indigent Americans into a coordinated litigation and lobbying attack on the central institutions of the family, of capitalism and of Madisonian Republicanism which together constitute the essence of the American Dream.
