Well-researched and insightful, The Paul Society lays bare the level of government dependence, corporate favoritism, the financial influence of unions, and the true motivations driving the decisions made by politicians of both parties. In this thought-provoking book, Jonathan Clark offers a revelatory look into the state of modern American politics and the way in which the self-interests of politicians and voters have helped to create a $16 trillion national debt. In The Paul Society, Clark delves into the origins of public policies that have helped shape America's welfare state, driven voter incentives, and affected the costs of everything from gasoline to health care. In what may be the most important political book of the year, The Paul Society will force you to leave the blissful ignorance of illusion and embrace the sometimes painful truth of reality.
