<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Surprising proof that conservatives really are more compassionate--and more generous--than liberals<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>We all know we should give to charity, but who really does? In his controversial study of America's giving habits, Arthur C. Brooks shatters stereotypes about charity in America-including the myth that the political Left is more compassionate than the Right. Brooks, a preeminent public policy expert, spent years researching giving trends in America, and even he was surprised by what he found. In <i>Who Really Cares</i>, he identifies the forces behind American charity: strong families, church attendance, earning one's own income (as opposed to receiving welfare), and the belief that individuals-not government-offer the best solution to social ills. But beyond just showing us who the givers and non-givers in America really are today, Brooks shows that giving is crucial to our economic prosperity, as well as to our happiness, health, and our ability to govern ourselves as a free people.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Who Cares is not just about how we contribute time and money; it is also about how our culture may affect our politics and our economy. It is the best study of charity that I have read." -- James Q. Wilson<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arthur C.
