Reviews: 5 stars for Calvin Helin's THE ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY TRAP Top Amazon reviewer, Cyrus Webb, writes, “We all need someone in our lives that will tell us the truth, especially when they see us headed for danger. The Economic Dependency Trap, shows us how easy it is for us to dig ourselves into an economic mess and what it takes to not only get out of the trap but make positive strides moving forward.” 5 stars Could the aid that America offers instill dependency in millions? The Midwest Book Review posts on February 10, 2011, “Could the aid that America offers instill dependency in millions? The Economic Dependency Trap, is an argument from Calvin Helin, stating that the welfare programs that America offers heavily leads Americans into a false sense of entitlement and leaves them unable to push themselves further and above the limits they put on themselves."
