Finished Tu 6/24/14
This is a fairly slim volume and I read and skimmed through all of it.
Interesting insights about how people start with the best of intentions, but the payoff is all wrong. Another way of saying, 'the cure is worse than the disease'.
Statutory law is strangling the nation. Each and every law tries to achieve a 'perfect outcome', but this is impossible. The author is trying to show that bureaucrats and even employees must be allowed to make mistakes. This is the only way we can learn what's really the right move, and then move on. If no one is allowed any responsibility to act, nothing can change.
If the library has got more by the author, I'll check it out. I saw him on Jon Stewart in late June, 2014.
