America's Hidden Success makes a lot of great points about the United States ability to sustain itself (at least to some extent) during times of trouble. Schwarz, however, uses data to defend what is, esentially an argument about the goodness of human nature - the desire of people to bring themselves out of poverty. He and Charles Murray (although they are at nearly opposite ends of the political debate on welfare) make the same mistake. They mask their feelings on the State of Human Nature behind an 'intellectual' argument using easily manipulated data.
