Description

Limited Government examines the paradox of rising public expenditure coupled with declining quality in essential services across modern economies. This Routledge publication investigates why government spending on income support, health, and education continues to climb whilst delivering diminishing returns. The author charts the expansion of big government and exposes the widening gap between public-sector ideals and economic realities, exploring how major economies struggle with mounting debt, deficits, ageing populations, inadequate social insurance systems, falling education test scores, and escalating health costs. Through detailed analysis of social and political factors, the book reveals the structural forces driving increased public spending and offers critical insight into the governance challenges facing developed nations.
