Reviews

Having lived in the Deep South all my life, I have seen first-hand what government handouts have done to individuals and families. What was meant to be a hand up has become a hand out, a means of keeping people dependent on government programs. This has become a well-established culture that families pass down from one generation to the next; thus, keeping generations doomed to the same future. This book gives a clear and concise account of this false hope and provides thought provoking opportunities for the reader and would make an excellent required reading in any economics or business course. -- Dr. Susan P. Lee, Associate Commissioner for Academic and Student Affairs, Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning

Lee, Associate Commissioner for Academic and Student Affairs, Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning As an entrepreneur I found this book to be both enlightening and fascinating. It's a must read. -- Chip Miskelly, President Miskelly Furniture Dr. Wentland has used his years of experience as a business educator to clarify critical points. A productive society is built on a strong education system preparing its citizens for the real economy of today. These well-reasoned points assist us in the proper preparation of our students as thoughtful, contributing citizens. -- Michael J. Littman, Ph.D., chair and associate professor of business, SUNY: Buffalo State
