In the book Unwarranted Intrusions, prominent financial commentator Martin Fridson turns his sharp eye for exposing ambiguous financial reporting practices to the government and scrutinizes the economic reality of the financially draining subsidies. Fridson debunks programs that claim to encourage savings, provide jobs, provide affordable housing, and preserve family farms. This book is a provocative and exhaustively researched challenge to prevailing political claims of programs that purport to protect the public good.
