"I am from the government and I am here to help you" is one of the
three biggest lies, or so the old joke goes. Richard J. Gelles,
dean of social policy at University of Pennsylvania, explains why
government programs designed to cure social ills don't work in
sector after sector...and never could work. He demonstrates how
each creates its own bureaucracy to monitor participation in the
program, an entrenched administrative apparatus whose needs
supersede those for whom the program was designed. Against this, he
contrasts universal programs such as the GI Bill, Social Security,
and Medicare, the most successful, sustained government programs
ever established. Gelles's provocative, controversial proposal for
a universal entitlement to replace a raft of lumbering social
programs should be read by all in social services, policy studies,
and government.
