New York Times bestselling journalist John Stossel shows how the expansion of government control is destructive for American society.

Politicians--and we voters--can dream of guaranteed incomes or green energy. But the mature response to cries of "Yes, we can!" should be "No, we can't"--not when "we" means government. There is nothing that government can do that we cannot do better as free individuals. --John Stossel in No, They Can't

John Stossel debunks the most revered of society's sacred cows in this spirited New York Times bestseller: our belief that government can solve our problems. Stossel insists that we discard the myth of the "perfect" government--left or right--and retrain our brain to rethink our lives as independent individuals in light of such topics as

HEALTH CARE - DEFENSE SPENDING

JOB CREATION - GUN CONTROL

PUBLIC EDUCATION - ENERGY

MINIMUM-WAGE LAWS - CLIMATE CHANGE

THE NATIONAL DEBT - POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

THE ASSAULT ON FOOD . . . and much more!

Review:
"As an introduction to a way of looking at the world, "No, They Can't" is superb. In about 300 highly readable pages, Mr. Stossel whips through countless topics, explaining for each why libertarians think the government does more harm than good." --"The Washington Times"

"I love "No They Can't". This book sends a message that people need to read."--Senator Mike Lee



"Is there anything for a reader already on the capitalist side to learn from yet another one of these books? Yes there is." --Future of Capitalism



"Excellent..."No They Can't "shed[s] light on how nonsensical government...is way beyond what our constitution allows." --Sarah Palin



"One of the nation's most recognized advocates of free-markets and individualism, Stossel argues that we have to become reality-based skeptics and embrace facts rather than feel-good rhetoric and politically popular policies that simply don't work."--David Harsanyi, "Human Events"
