David Frum's book "Dead Right" is a criticism of modern conservatism by a conservative. Some of the themes that Frum explores in this book are eliminating state-created and state-funded incentives to misconduct as a means of reforming the culture; the link between big government - the welfare state of today - and declining values; changing the allotment of Medicare/Medicaid. Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, "Dead Right" is a stimulating, political look that gives the reader some answers to questions as to why our culture is the way it is and what can be done about it.
