A fascinating expose explaining why the government we have bears so
little relation to the government we want-and why the recent
expansion of government programs will only exacerbate the problem.
Idealized views of government lead to bitterly unhappy citizens
posits The Myth of Fair and Efficient Government: Why the
Government You Want Is Not the One You Get. In fact, Michael L.
Marlow says, government is the last place to look for efficiency.
It is, rather, private markets that naturally drive toward
efficient outcomes and it is unreasonable to expect governments to
mimic those effects. This idea will startle many readers,
especially given the widespread belief that private markets caused
the current economic problems. The author's intention is to awaken
readers to the invalidity of that assumption, to make us "pause
before calling upon the government to somehow be efficient and fair
in responding to the supposed collapse of private markets." To that
end, this book demonstrates why romantic views of government
promote a less efficient economy; why so many government programs
are inefficient in practice; and why a more limited role for
government is critical to reviving trust in our institutions.
