The Poverty of Welfare Helping Others in Civil Society
Citing the failure of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, Tanner, director of health and welfare studies at the Cato Institute, a pubic policy research foundation dedicated to traditional American principles of limited government and individual liberty, argues that the American welfare system should be dismantled rather than reformed. He recommends changes in regulation, taxation, and Social Security. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
