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.

It's a must read. -- Chip Miskelly, President Miskelly Furniture\u003cbr\u003eDr. Wentland has used his years of experience as a business educator to clarify critical points.
