In his new book, The End Is Near and It's Going to Be Awesome: How Going Broke Will Leave America Richer, Happier, and More Secure, Kevin D. Williamson examines the crisis of the modern welfare state and demonstrates that the crucial political failures of our time are the direct result of government monopolies. Entitlement programs have stifled innovation and efficiency in attempts to deliver failed promises.
There is, however, a light at the end of the tunnel, as millions of people reject the status quo and turn to their own ingenuity to create successful market-derived alternatives to these government monopolies.
