Reseña del libro "Simplify Government: A fresh analysis of how the United States Should be Organized and Run in the 21rst Century (en Inglés)"
OUR COUNTRY STARTED OUT WITH A SIMPLE DOCUMENT. The Constitution of the United States, written in 1787, is a mere 4,435 words long - and set out the absolute bare minimum requirements for the world's first modern democracy: separation of powers between the President, Congress, the Senate, and the Judicial system; and a procedure for adding amendments. Over the next 200 years, 27 of these were added - most of them a single sentence in length. But while the legal backbone of our country is still very succinct, the reality of our political, judicial and economic system is anything but. With all this in mind, this book is an attempt to take a completely fresh look at the largest and most successful organization on the planet: the US Government. I am not a politician or an economist. I am a technologist and a businessman who calls the shots as I see them. I was raised in France by two American parents, and have spent half of my life in both economies; I have experienced socialism first hand, spent time in Japan watching that model disintegrate, and am extremely familiar with the inner workings and machinations of Wall Street. But most of my career I have involved in technology and startups, and what I see with the US is a bloated organization with bad software. I realize that politicians on both sides of the aisle will view this book as "utopian" or, dare I say it, "simplistic", but I think that above all, at this stage we need a clear idea of where we need to go, as opposed to just a way to win the next election.
