Another related effort to shift attention to problems of "the state" during the heyday of social liberalism was the "law and economics" movement in the United States, prominently promoted by right-wing foundations in support of MPS member Henry Manne. Law and economics was originally developed to turn the perceived hostility of U.S. law toward corporations into a more pragmatic conversation to educate legal scholars and judges (Miller 2006).
