From the Back Cover:

The American people are clearly upset about the massive government bailouts of faltering organizations and the consequent commitment of taxpayer dollars—as well as the heavy involvement of the federal government in private sector activities. In Ending Government Bailouts as We Know Them, a team of expert contributors examine the dangers of continuing government bailouts and offer constructive alternatives designed to both resolve the current bailout problem and prevent future crises. The authors stress the importance of first explaining the crisis in understandable terms and then providing the type of strategies that “make failure tolerable” and eliminate the bailout mentality both now and in the future.
