This book offers an economics based theory for reinventing government that, if used, could lead to a leaner, more efficient government. Because this book is written by a government official, instead of an academic or pundit, it provides real insights into a pragmatic reinvention of government. At a time when the government seems out of control, all citizens should find out more about how the government works and seek to play a role in changing it. This book will help people do that.
