This book is an exhausting tirade of apples to oranges comparisons, statistics taken out of context, and unconvincing anecdotes. All to make a point that big government is bad. Toward the end I was hoping some concrete solutions might be offered, but the author only made it about two paragraphs before reverting to more "big government is bad" tedium. And those two paragraphs did not scratch the surface on any concrete proposals. Tldr; save your time and read a different book.
