Extract
Schlegel is right. It is difficult to swallow the notion that twentieth century history began twenty years late. I agree that the central issue for legal historians is the growth of the nation state's apparatus. We should indeed be concerned with the regulation and direction of an economy. Yet my own preferred date for the beginning of twentieth century legal history is 1901. More precisely, I would pinpoint 2:15 A.M. on September 14, 1901, the morning Theodore Roosevelt became President (Pringle, 1956: 163).
