No, They Can’t: Why Government Fails-But Individuals Succeed

John Stossel is awesome. I’ve been a fan ever since I was in the seventh grade and watched him debunk pro wrestling and, in the process, take a couple slaps in the face from David Schutlz.”You think it’s fake?” Boom. A childhood fantasy destroyed. Sometime between that fateful smack and today Stossel shifted from consumer reporter to free market advocate. He’s a rare commodity in the media who unapologetically wears his biases on his sleeve. No, The Can’t lays out the libertarian position on a slew contemporary political issues. It’s not the most in-depth analysis but provides a good jumping off point for just about any policy debate with lots of footnotes and references to point you the right direction.
