The review continues,
"In “Conspiracies of the Ruling Class,” Lawrence B. Lindsey suggests that we’re angry because of how badly we’re governed. America has fallen captive to a “Ruling Class” (his capitalization throughout the book) concerned more with its own power than with the welfare of the country. This will be a familiar story to anyone who has studied the history of progressivism and how over the past 120 years or so it has subverted the Founders’ promise of individual liberty with promises of free stuff."
Lindsey argues that “that government is taking more and more—more resources, more freedom, and more power—and has strayed from how it can best serve them. Public services are misplaced and ineffective. The country is in retreat in the world arena. Those in power seem to see government as a vehicle for themselves: an opportunity to make a personal mark in history.”
