A Nation of Takers: America’s Entitlement Epidemic is a nonfiction political and social-policy book by demographer Nicholas Eberstadt. It examines the growth of American entitlement programs and argues that their expansion has not only changed federal spending patterns but also influenced civic habits, expectations, and ideas about responsibility. Rather than treating entitlement policy as a purely budgetary issue, the book frames it as a question about national character and the long-term effects of dependency. Eberstadt uses demographic analysis, charts, and historical comparison to show how the role of government assistance widened over several decades. The book is aimed at readers interested in public policy, welfare-state expansion, political economy, and the cultural consequences of large-scale social programs. A notable feature is the inclusion of a response from political theorist William Galston, which introduces dissenting perspective and makes the book more than a one-sided polemic.
