You don’t really solve big problems in established structures by trying to solve them. A pragmatic approach to a particular problem may lead to improvement but from time to time it is necessary to scrap an existing structure and build a new one based on how we think things should be in the best possible society. In the UK the social security system needs such an upheaval now. We, as British people, should be ashamed of a system that has so many injustices, so much fraud, so much unnecessary expenditure and so much waste. We, through our elected political leaders, are responsible for it. In Part I of this book the author shows how the social security system works and identifies and illustrates many weaknesses. In Part II the author shows that the state is structurally incapable of running such an enterprise and that a much better system can be put in place at much less cost if services are provided by competing autonomous trusts.
