The book I wish every policymaker would read.
Ezra Klein, The New York Times
A bold call to reexamine how our government operatesand sometimes fails tofrom President Obamas former deputy chief technology officer and the founder of Code for America
Just when we most need our government to workto decarbonize our infrastructure and economy, to help the vulnerable through a pandemic, to defend ourselves against global threatsit is faltering. Government at all levels has limped into the digital age, offering online services that can feel even more cumbersome than the paperwork that preceded them and widening the gap between the policy outcomes we intend and what we get.
But its not more money or more tech we need. Government is hamstrung by a rigid, industrial-era culture, in which elites dictate policy from on high, disconnected from and too often disdainful of the details of implementation. Lofty goals morph unrecognizably as they cascade through a complex hierarchy. But there is an approach taking hold that keeps pace with todays world and reclaims government for the people it is supposed to serve. Jennifer Pahlka shows why we must stop trying to move the government we have today onto new technology and instead consider what it would mean to truly recode American government.
