What Should Government Do? A Story is a thought-provoking answer to that question. What's the purpose of government? Is it liberty or justice or something else? Is the community more important than the individual? How do human rights fit in? Should we even bother with democracy? This book examines these and other timeless topics while keeping both feet firmly planted in reality. RKJ encountered great difficulty when he tried to answer these questions. Most of the arguments he heard were little more than political talking points or emotional appeals. He found better reasons buried in the works of long-dead writers, but remained unsatisfied even by them. And though he loved the topics he was reading, he endured their dense writing painfully. RKJ believes that reading should be a joy, so he wrote the sort of book that he would want to read. He's packaged the rigor of his logic into a delightful story.
