Government Built America challenges the growing anti-government rhetoric by highlighting the crucial role that government has played in partnering with markets to shape the United States. In their insightful book, Sidney A. Shapiro and Joseph P. Tomain delve into the potential harms and failures of markets and explore how the government has addressed these extremes to ensure the well-being of all citizens. While acknowledging the significance of individualism and small government in the nation's DNA, the authors emphasize the equal importance of democracy and a people pursuing communal interests. Through engaging prose, they demonstrate how the government, despite the complexities of markets, remains committed to promoting economic prosperity, safeguarding individuals, and providing an economic safety net.
Each chapter of the book focuses on a historical figure, ranging from Lincoln to FDR to Trump, to illustrate how the government-market mix has evolved over time. By understanding this historical context, readers gain valuable insights into the dynamics of government and markets and can contribute to the ongoing national conversation about the optimal combination that can best serve the country's interests.
In conclusion, Government Built America offers a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between government and markets. By presenting a balanced perspective and highlighting the historical evolution of this partnership, the book empowers readers to engage in informed discussions about the future of governance in the United States.
