Description
The Unelected: How an Unaccountable Elite Is Governing America by James R. Copland explores the often-overlooked world of unelected actors in the US government, who wield significant power behind the scenes. In this thought-provoking history, Copland explains how administrative agencies have taken on a disproportionate role in shaping laws and regulations, often without public input or oversight. The proliferation of new rules has led to a complex web of discretion and enforcement, with severe consequences for those who unwittingly break them. The book sheds light on the ways in which unelected officials are influencing policy, from the courts to private lawsuits, and how this is affecting American governance.
