Overview
This is an essential and eye-opening examination of why the rule of law demands that the rules not change mid-game, as Daniel Troy traces retroactive legislation from Roman principles through Supreme Court rulings, the Constitution's ex post facto, contracts, and takings clauses, retroactive tax hikes, and Superfund liability, revealing how courts have failed to protect property rights, due process, and separation of powers.This book finds that political and procedural mechanisms needed to ensure settled, investment-backed expectations are upset only after consideration and when a political consensus exists.
