Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Deborah Stone in her book "The Samaritan's Dilemma: Should Government Help your Neighbor?". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Deborah Stone's book.<br>Stone argues that democracy does not depend on self-interest but on altruism. He believes that when the government helps citizens, they will want to help the government. <br>
