Eisenberg: Rural Disaffection & the Regulatory State

This digest summarizes recent legal scholarship by Ann Eisenbergy article that argues we should take seriously rural political alienation and disaffection as symptoms, at least in part, of legitimate objections to both regulatory overreach and, in some cases, abandonment. She frames rural tensions as calling for a response based on governmental legitimacy and fairness for all.
