-TARREN BRAGDON, President and CEO, Foundation for Government Accountability In The Crisis of Dependency you will discover key underlying issues that hold back millions of Americans from escaping chronic poverty and homelessness. You will also learn how many well-intended charitable programs undermine self-determination and fail to restore dignity.

The final three chapters will equip you with practical ideas that inspire hope for individuals and communities to reverse the current crisis of dependency. This is the book every true humanitarian has been waiting for.
-LAWRENCE W. REED, president emeritus, Foundation for Economic Education The Crisis of Dependency will provide a breakthrough in your thinking so you can move away from perpetuating dependency to charity that achieves real freedom.
