Paperback. Condición: New. The debate over the size and scope of the federal government has raged from the New Deal right up through the 2016 presidential race.

Garry provides conservatives and libertarians with the intellectual ammunition they have lacked. He demonstrates that opponents of big government rely on arguments that are true but fail to address the heart of the issue.

In just 100 pages, The False Promise of Big Government lays out everything you need to know about why big government fails and how to overcome it at last. …
