The Legacy of the Great Society and Economic Philosophy
This chapter explores the consequences of the Great Society programs, particularly the economic stagnation from the 1960s to the 1980s, and how political leaders responded to the challenges posed by entitlement programs. It contrasts conservative economic philosophies, emphasizing local empowerment over government intervention, and critiques the historical interpretation in education. The discussion also highlights the shift from constitutional rights to modern entitlements, advocating for innovative ways to teach economic principles to the younger generation.
