review 1: I don't think the book delivers on what is claimed in the title, and certainly not on the subtitle. However, his analyses of many of the problems with 21st century American politics and culture are interesting, stimulating and often spot on. Definitely worth reading . I may read it again. It is difficult to classify Mr. Williamson in any of the usual political categories. I would say he is closer to being a libertarian than R or D..
review 2: Kevin Williamson's book establishes the failures of the welfare state as we know it, but fully underestimates the way the collapse of the welfare state will play out. His idea that a libertarian smaller state will emerge is totally flawed. Instead an authoritarian dystopia is what is likely to happen with falling standar... moreds of living, generations pitted against one another, and perhaps violence between rent-seeking groups fighting over a shrinking pie. There are some interesting policy prescriptions in the book, but they haven't a prayer of being enacted, because the political class will never allow it. less
