Our society is dissatisfied. Populism is growing. Could it be that these two developments are consequences of exhausted governments in Belgium and Europe? Herman Daems starts from this premise in this book. Mobility, immigration and integration, competitiveness, public finances, climate development: these are all collective problems that have not received an adequate solution for years. The government is powerless, almost without resources due to poor management, and is being hunted by the media and interest groups. Based on strong opinion pieces, 'De uitgeputte overheid' argues for an inclusive capitalism as a social system, with a small, decisive government and a convergence between the profit and non-profit sectors. The book unravels the paradox of Belgium and exposes the deeper causes of the current malaise, but it also shows that there is hope.
