The Submerged State -- How Invisible Government Policies Undermine American Democracy. By Suzanne Mettler (I've not read this book, just the blurb, but it looks like a defensible thesis) : Government polyicy, rather than distributing resources (money, infrastructure, services) as directly as possible to voters, have recently opted to distribute indirectly, through private companies. This gives the market & private organizations more perceived clout, perpetuates a level of corruption, and undermines American's faith in their government. So, we need a better 'debugger' for policy in america? Something like a discrete chain rule to help people figure out what policies (and who) are responsible for the good / bad things in their life? Sure seems that the bureaucracy is could use some cleanup / is failing under burgeoning complexity. This is probably not dissimilar to cruddy technical systems. | ||
