The Second Bill of Rights: FDR's Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More Than Ever Book

This is essentially a collection of three books in one; firstly a history of the New Deal programs and President F.D. Roosevelt's thinking about them, including a proposal of "Second Bill of Rights" from FDR's SOTU speech from 1944; secondly a history of economic and social rights litigation in SCOTUS in the decades following the FDR period, and lastly, a study of the possibilities for judicial review in influencing priority and agenda-setting through constitutional commitments for social and economic rights. Each of them is interesting by itself and together they make a compelling case for a topic I must admit I am passionate about.
Sunstein's writing style is clear and enjoyable, albeit sometimes repetitive on some topics if one has read his other books or articles of him. He tries to make an argument, spends a lot of time on it, but does not finish it at great length (in the final chapter he looks at two cases from the South African Constitutional Court and partially one from the NY Court of Appeals, but I would appreciate a longer discussion on his proposed solution to the issue). For most readers, however, this would not be an issue and in case you are interested in a way that courts can play a role in keeping the government accountable for social and economic policy comittments, I definitelly recommend this book.
