How Big Government Breeds Vice:
Perverse Incentives of the Welfare State
G. Stolyarov II
Issue CLXIX - August 11, 2008
A new video presentation by Mr. Stolyarov is aimed at rendering his essay, “How Big Government Breeds Vice: Perverse Incentives of the Welfare State,” available in another medium and to a broader audience. This video discusses how even a perfectly well-intentioned government engaging in “social welfare” programs will make large numbers of people far less virtuous in their conduct than they would have been in a world of solely private charity. This presentation provides an in-depth argument for why even sincere efforts to uplift people from poverty by means of government aid will end up accomplishing the opposite effect and producing generations of unproductive, irresponsible dependents.
