While I don't totally agree with everything in this book, it certainly is an interesting read. It presents Ted Halstead and Michael Lind's vision of the future of government—a centerist vision, that does things.

It has a strong leaning to the right, but it balances it with ideas of the left. Nothing in the book is totally revolutionary, but it suggests that we directly implement moderate ideas—and stop making the middle of the road look like a boring, weak area.

It's view of politics is truely that of a moderate facist—if you know that view, this book will probably not have alot of surpises. Many of his ideas are similar to that of Nelson Rockefeller's ideas as expressed in Unity, Peace and Freedom: A Blueprint for Tommorow.

This book probably won't lead to enlightened thinking, or give you totally new ideas, but it does argue for moderation—and action—something that few of rarely act on.

One thing missing from this book is the enviromental issues of the 21st century. It touches on the idea of pollution credits lightly, but that's about it. It totally skips over the idea of enviromental regulation and policy, possibly purposely?

It's an okay book. Read it, you'll get some new ideas. I wouldn't recommend spending alot of money on it though.
