Description

In Building an Opportunity Society: A Realistic Alternative to an Entitlement State, Lewis D. Solomon addresses one of the most pressing questions facing twenty-first-century US policymakers. How can the federal government effectively help more people achieve the American dream? This book explores how to provide greater opportunities for less-prosperous individuals, allowing them to succeed through hard work and personal merit. Solomon examines the difficult task of navigating public policy between social democratic efforts and those who view public sector programs negatively. The text seeks to find a path that enables people to take increased responsibility for their lives while still providing the necessary support to build a more equitable society. This work is a significant contribution to the study of political science and social policy, offering a realistic look at how to build a society centered on opportunity rather than just entitlement.
