Philippa Strum, our foremost authority on Louis Brandeis, gathers together for the first time a sterling selection from his most provocative and profound writings. A kind of "Portable Brandeis," this book provides a concise and readable guide to the thought of a truly great American. Brandeis, the Ralph Nader of the early twentieth century, was known as the "People's Attorney" for his continuous crusades on behalf of the public. He spoke before citizens' groups and legislative bodies, wrote articles for popular magazines, put his ideas about industrial democracy in the briefs he submitted as a lawyer and later in the opinions he wrote as a Supreme Court justice (1916-1938), and advised presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. The problems Brandeis faced and the answers he fashioned could have leaped from today's newspapers: corruption in government, conflicts between majority rule and minority rights, movements to limit free speech and the right to privacy, gender equality, the importance of education, the causes of and possible solutions for poverty, the social costs of excessive political or corporate power, the uneasy relationship between lawyers and the public, efficiency and justice in the workplace, the tension between Federal power and states' autonomy, and the responsibility of citizens to their community. In all his endeavors, Brandeis emphasized both political and economic democracy, citizen participation, and a balance between rights and responsibilities. As leader of the American Zionist movement from 1914 through the 1930s, he dreamed of a democratic Jewish homeland in Palestine founded on Jeffersonian principles. And there were similar echoes of the Founding Fathers in his campaign against the corporate trusts in the United States. These selections from Brandeis's speeches, letters to family and colleagues, newspaper interviews, articles, and judicial opinions offer us the essence of Brandeis's genius and allow us to appreciate the range and relevance of his ideas for America today.

Few Supreme Court justices have had a greater impact on modern life than Louis D. Brandeis. His court opinions have shaped the law and have helped articulate many rights Americans enjoy today. But Brandeis was a prolific author before he ascended to the Court and much of what he wrote then continues to be relevant today. The threat of monopolies, the importance of unions, and the obligations of citizens living in a democracy were just a few of Brandeis's interests that still affect Americans. Democracy and Social Justice: Uncollected Writings of Louis Brandeis collects many previously unanthologized writings to expand Brandeis's corpus as well as to re-introduce him to a new generation of readers. The title of this book reflects two themes of much of the work collected here and in much of Brandeis's work as a whole. Brandeis was a lifelong proponent of democracy and its promise of equal rights to all. Any person, or institution, that threatened a person's right to freedom and self-improvement was not just an affront to that person, but also to democracy itself. The articles in Democracy and Social Justice: Uncollected Writings of Louis Brandeis touch on several issues that Brandeis believed threatened democracy, such as monopolies, union busting, and racial discrimination. Of special note, there is also a brief memoir that Brandeis dictated that was recently unearthed.
