The Dependency Agenda
Instead of ending poverty, the Great Society policies launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson backfired, causing poverty to become more pervasive and insidious.

Williamson outlines the arguments why this is so in his new broadside The Dependency Agenda, published by Encounter Books.
