Book Description:

Argues against the idea that there are inexpensive cures for serious societal sicknesses. Epstein takes on an immense literature in psychotherapy, social work, and welfare, all offering simple answers to complex problems. He is blunt in his denial that traditional welfare can readily resolve major social and economic questions . His work should serve as an early warning signal that easy solutions are hard for recipients to identify and harder still for donors to put forth.
