Produktbeschreibung

This book represents an attempt to sketch out, across a host of policy topics, a realistic strategy for shrinking the welfare state. The book looks backward to human history and even to prehistory to examine the origins of capital formation. As the facts demonstrate, politics has always been intimately linked with investment, understood in the broadest sense of the word.
