Book Description

Less Government, More Future is an essay on expanding economic freedom to move America towards a millennium of greatness. The book is based on the time-proven truth that as government progresses beyond its core functions (defend the nation, ensure law and order, provide infrastructure, facilitate commerce, care for the truly needy, regulate as necessary to ensure freedom in the marketplace and deliver the mail), the nation's economic vitality diminishes, as does the brilliance of its future. The theme is supported by a sweeping view of history, where an abridgement of economic freedoms is shown to be at the heart of the fall of the most highly acclaimed empires, as well as by studies of top economists.

The last century of massive spending programs, primarily entitlements, over taxation and overly aggressive governmental intervention through regulatory programs that stretch well beyond what was necessary to preserve freedom and competition in the marketplace, have brought America to its knees financially and have stolen our future. The havoc big government has wreaked upon America is a national tragedy, especially when considering the future we could have expected had we adhered to the principles of our founders, as articulated in the Constitution. The result of straying from the wisdom of our founders over the past century has been a fiscal horror show that, if not reined in immediately, will rob America of the millennium of greatness we had been positioned to enjoy.


Government Overreach
   


Enhance economic freedom to maintain America's preeminence.
Compelling evidence is presented to show that our present level of total government spending (federal, state and local combined) is nearly twice its optimal level, severely degrading our economic rate of growth. Further, the book goes on to show how recent crises, such as the Saving and Loan crisis of the late 1980's and the 2008 financial crisis, were unwittingly engineered by the federal government.

Less Government, More Future presents a solid intellectual argument that enhancing economic freedom is the key to America sustaining its position as the world's leading super power for the next millennium.
