Try Common Sense: Replacing the Failed Ideologies of Right and Left (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

America’s founders embraced the ideal of a society built on practical decisions, in which the government’s role was to enhance freedom of choice and protect its citizens with the rule of law. This framework has broken down: Instead of protecting American freedom, government has imposed a dense bureaucracy and legal exposure. Instead of providing needed services within a responsible budget, government is disabled from acting sensibly and squanders taxpayer money.


Philip K. Howard shows us the way to a new governing goal. The first steps are to abandon the philosophy of correctness and our devotion to rules. In a truly practical society, government employees and private citizens would make meaningful choices and be judged on the results of their work, rather than on their ability to submit to bureaucracy. Rule books don’t make decisions; only people who take responsibility can do that.
