Nanny state
How Food Fascists, Teetotaling Do-Gooders, Priggish Moralists, and other Boneheaded Bureaucrats are Turning America into a Nation of Children
Book • 2007
In this book, David Harsanyi argues that the United States is becoming a 'nanny state' where government and activists increasingly intrude into personal lives, stripping citizens of their liberties.
He provides numerous examples of regulations and laws that he considers overly paternalistic, such as bans on trans fats, smoking restrictions, and safety regulations.
Harsanyi contends that these measures not only undermine personal responsibility but also reflect a broader trend of societal infantilization, where citizens are treated as incapable of making their own decisions.
