The Greatest Political Mind of our time November 6, 2008
Newt has done it again. While many may think that Real Change bears similarities with Winning the Future, and in many ways it does, that in itself is not a bad thing at all.
Most of the fundamental issues facing America are eviscerated in this timely polemic. Social Security is broken, and will be a vortex in the US economy unless it is reformed, but were it to be reformed with Newt's model, it would not only be saved, but revolutionized into the most prosperous social program immagineable. Immigration reform is dealt with in the most commonsense, inclusive approach one could imagine. Indeed the Tom Tancredo's of this world would feel foolish reading that chapter.
But more than being a blow by blow assault on all the major issues facing America today, Newt's book is in many ways a self help book, a guide to changing perspectives and perceptions in a way that is catalystic to human progress.
The mishandling of Iraq, the failure of the Katrina response, are all widely denounced as examples of the world that fails.
To get to the world that works, we need to change the perspective, adopt an attitude of "yes if" rather than "no because", and implement metrics as a means of measuring progress and accomplishing the goals.
But more than anything, this book is a powerful case for the virtues of active citizenship, rather than reliance on a wasteful and inefficient bureaucracy.
Order this book, watch as Fed Ex delivers it on time, and ask yourself whether the ineffecient government agencies could provide a better service. Newt will explain why from page one onwards.
A masterly work of political brilliance from the greatest political mind of our time.
