"Politicians like to say that government is on the side of the little guy. But with impressive documentation and persuasive examples, Tim Carney shows how government power and regulation are typically used to assist the powerful."
–Paul A. Gigot Editorial Page Editor, the Wall Street Journal
"Exposes the dirty little secret of American politics: how big businesses work with statist politicians to diminish the prosperity and freedom of consumers, taxpayers, and entrepreneurs. Carney employs top–notch writing ability, passion for liberty, and understanding of economics to demolish the myth that big business is a foe of big government. Everyone who seeks to understand who really benefits from big government should read this book, as should anyone who still believes that the interventionist state benefits the average person."
–Congressman Ron Paul U.S. House of Representatives, 14th District of Texas
"Small entrepreneurial businesses are the backbone success of our great economy. They are the biggest job and wealth creators. Is that why big corpocratic behemoth firms collude with big government for a liberal agenda of higher taxes and overregulation that will punish the small risk–takers? Tim Carney′s new book describes how anti–business big business can be."
–Lawrence Kudlow Host of CNBC′s Kudlow & Company
"Tim Carney explodes the myth that big business and big government are natural opponents. All too often, as he points out, they′re both engaged in a common enterprise: picking your pocket."
–Ramesh Ponnuru Senior Editor, National Review
"A romping tour de force of the love affair between big business and big government from Teddy Roosevelt and the Robber Barons to Enron and the Kyoto Treaty. Indispensable for understanding how government regulation really works."
–Donald Devine Grewcock Professor of Political Science, Bellevue University
"Every CEO in America should read this book today, issue new directives to their bureaucrat–appeasing Washington lobbyist tomorrow, and join in the fight for economic liberalization."
–Fred L. Smith, Jr. Founder and President, Competitive Enterprise Institute
