The major social problems of the United States—deteriorating education, lawlessness and crime, homelessness, the collapse of family values, the crisis in medical care—all have one thing in common. They have all been produced by the well-intended actions of the government.
And yet, for some reason, more and more Americans look to government as the solution to their problems.
In this eBook, Friedman uses his humble and direct style to:
Analyze the continuing social and economic problems as government intervention increases in the U.S.
Shed light on the government and its tilt toward special interests over citizen interests.
Demonstrate how and why government is the problem.

With its eminent scholars and world-renowned Library and Archives, the Hoover Institution is a non-partisan, data-driven policy research organization that seeks to improve the human condition by advancing ideas that promote economic prosperity, national security, and democratic governance. Over more than one hundred years, Hoover’s work has directly led to policies that have produced greater freedom, democracy, and opportunity in the United States and around the world.
