Title: Explains why privatization is better than government control
Review: Dr. Asmus is with the Center for Policy Analysis, a libertarian think-tank. The book is an excellent blend of philosophy and real data, all of which is geared toward explaining how many of the functions performed by governments today would be better off in the hands of private enterprise. The book has two shortcomings:1. It was inspired by the election of Clinton in 1992 and the subsequent 1994 "Republican Revolution", and, as such, much of the material is time-sensitive and will soon be outdated, and2. Dr. Asmus' attempts at poetry.The main strength of the book is its abundance of real data to justify its points -- something often lacking in dissertations of opposing viewpoints. The only premise that the reader is asked to unconditionally accept is the idea that economic growth is good
