As a liberal I found this book quite difficult to read at times. It provides a full spectrumed emotional rollercoaster. I found myself oscillating between wanting punch the authors lights out and being completely enthralled by his story telling. Politics aside the central thesis of this book is very powerful; that philosophies that strip people of personal responsibility are responsible for much suffering. As such I'd highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in psychology or social policy.

Solid arguments against the current socialist government rhetoric in welfare state countries. Based on UK. Absolutely applicable to NZ
