ReviewsFew policy issues are as vital to national welfare as the debate over no-fault automobile insurance. In attempting to unravel the sometimes devastating consequences of a car accident, whether society chooses to treat the matter primarily as an instance of economic dislocation requiring sufficient loss allocation or, instead, as a morally significant event requiring personal accountability is a problem of enormous import to the nation's moral and economic health. Studies of this critical, persistent issue come and go, but never has it been so lucidly and provocatively debated as in this engaging little book by Jerry Phillips and Stephen Chippendale. Everyone should read it.
