"A splendid book. A devastating critique of the welfare state. A
page-turner, yet also extensively sourced. I congratulate Mr. Bartholomew."
– Milton Friedman
In this controversial book, James Bartholomew argues that the welfare state
in Britain has resulted in a generation of badly educated and dependent
citizens, leading to lives of deprivation for thousands and undermining the
original intent behind its creation in the 1940s. Has the welfare state
really led to more harm than good? What does this imply for the
ever-expanding welfare state in the United States?
