Government Spending

This collection of essays takes a critical look at a huge topic; government spending. Readers will explore whether government spending, be it on education, health care, or designated projects, is wasteful. They will evaluate whether government spending should allow deficits and debt, and the impact spending policies have on the economy. Essays also present ways that spending must change to meet future challenges, like the increase in retirees, the evolving clean energy industry, and the changing needs of the nation's defense. Essay sources include Christopher J. Conover, Neal McCluskey, Nicola Moore, and Andrew G. Biggs.
