"A remarkable book. Future discussions of social policy cannot proceed without taking the arguments and evidence of this book into account." --James S. Coleman, University of Chicago.

With this path-breaking critique, Charles Murray challenges the orthodox view of the welfare state as benefiting the poor. Using a remarkable array of research and analysis, Murray illustrates how the ambitious social programs of the Great Society to help the poor and disadvantaged have fallen far short of their intentions and, in many cases, have actually made things worse.
