No, They Can't: Why Government Fails – But Individuals Succeed is a 2012 book by John Stossel, the American consumer reporter, investigative journalist, author and libertarian columnist.

The term "no, they can't" is a rebuttal to the chant used in Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign ("Yes we can").

[3] The book gives several examples of government intervention: trade barriers, food and medical regulation, the education system, labor unions, gun control, minimum wage laws, the war on drugs, and advocates of universal health care.

[1] Stossel heavily criticizes economic egalitarianism, stating that an incentive for innovation is a higher income.

[4] No, They Can't entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number 17 in the April 29, 2012, issue.
