The Rise of Big Government in the United States

1 review
John F. Walker, Harold G. Vatter

M.E. Sharpe, 1997

Brief but thorough analysis.
The authors, Economics professors at Portland State University, have traced American economic policy and development from the Great Depression to persuasively argue that public expectations and irrevocable budgetary dynamics will mandate large government for the foreseeable future. Clearly written (for economics), this work will prove useful to the general reader with little background in ...

Big Government

7 reviews
Ev Ehrlich

Grand Central Publishing, 1999

Very funny and maybe accurate
Thirty years ago I worked as what is called today a spin doctor. I have a love/hate relationship with politics. I think Ev Ehrlich's book is really quite excellent, especially for a first-time novelist. It belongs to a long, honorable history of political burlesque. On occasion it's over-the-top, in a Carl Hiaasen kind of way. (That's high praise; I think Hiaasen is wonderful). There's also a ...

Joel Miller

Thomas Nelson, 2006

Clear and on target
Joel Miller has done it again! A razormouthy, easy to read - yet not dumbed down - treatise against the ever-increasing size of government. Joel makes each chapter enjoyable by offering interesting examples and anecdotes to make each point. A real page-turner, this is the best book on government available today.

The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money

Timothy P. Carney

Wiley, 2006

Frightening collaboration between government and Big Business
I was drawn to this book becauase I saw Robert Novak's Foreword. I was blown away how honest and fair Carney was in The Big Ripoff. One thing is apparent after reading this book. People for big government will not like this book because he calls for an end to government regulation of businesses. Carney's thought process can be illustrated like this: less gov't= better business practices. I loved ...

Crime & Politics: Big Government's Erratic Campaign for Law and Order

1 review
Ted Gest

Oxford University Press, USA, 2003

Fascinating inside story of crime policy
Why has America experienced an explosion in crime rates since 1960? Why has the crime rate dropped in recent years? Though politicians are always ready to both to take the credit for crime reduction and to exploit grisly headlines for short-term political gain, these questions remain among the most important and most difficult to answer in America today. In CRIME AND POLITICS, award-winning ...

Defending Government: Why Big Government Works

1 review
Max Neiman

Prentice Hall, 1999

A Brilliant Treatise
It's all too rare that one finds a book like this. Neiman addresses nearly every aspect of government, cleverly and entertainingly explaining not why it needs to be big, but why government is an essential part of our society, despite many Americans' claims to the contrary. I've used it in many of my courses, and find my students not only interested in it, but generating new thoughts of their own. ...
