Poverty: Its Illegal Causes and Legal Cure - Lysander Spooner

In this book Lysander Spooner provides his view on causes of poverty in the USA and gives a legal cure to it. "The existing poverty would be rapidly removed, and future poverty almost entirely prevented, a more equal distribution of property than now exists accomplished, and the aggregate wealth of society greatly increased, if the principles of natural law, and of our national and state constitutions generally, were adhered to by the judiciary in their decisions in regard to contracts."
