Kleptonomics

Have you ever wondered why government programs seem to have a reverse Midas Touch, turning gold into failed programs? Why doesn't spending more money ever appear to solve homelessness, congested roads, or social inequity? How about why those pesky libertarians are always screaming about taxation being theft? If it is illegal for politicians to get bribes, why are they all rich? Bureaucracy, it seems, always makes things worse, but why is that? Kleptonomics dives into these issues while providing some background on rights, government, and how the incentives of power make it impossible to keep a clean and effective government.

Government theft can be hidden in plain sight and, in many cases, is sheltered by mainstream political and economic theories. Kleptonomics helps peel back the veneer of obfuscation created by decades of bureaucratic buildup and political headbutting to get at the core of how good concepts become perverted over time.

A great gift for that Millennial or Gen Z in your family who was never exposed to the principles held by those like Thomas Jefferson or Friedrich Hayek, Kleptonomics provides context for important socioeconomic problems such as student loans and income inequality. Providing a great way to start arguments at the dinner table or Christmas morning, Kleptonomics is certain to keep the conversation going!
