America's greatness comes from people working hard to fulfill their dreams. But today that greatness is being undermined by people using the government to steal other people's dreams (and money). Rather than participate and innovate in the marketplace, generating goods and services that benefit society, people are increasingly vying for political advantage to live at the expense of others. Something for Nothing reveals the social and personal threats inherent in this emerging "grabbing match" culture, juxtaposing freemarket virtues against government vices, explaining how the somethingfornothing mentality corrupts the political system, undermines corporate success and stifles the individual's ability to prosper and contribute longterm to society. More than exposing the dangers, however, Tracy helps readers set a personal and culturewide agenda for change.
