Here is a very thoughtful, very timely article from the Imprimis published by Hillsdale College. It is adapted from a speech delivered at Hillsdale in January during a seminar on the topic, “America’s Entitlement Society,” co-sponsored by the Center for Constructive Alternatives and the Ludwig von Mises Lecture Series. The talk was given (and the article written) by Dr. John Marini, author and professor of political science at the University of Nevada.
I heartily recommend it.
