| Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works by Regnery Publishing Newt or not Newt |
| I like the audio book but I would have liked it better if Kewt did more of it. His wife did a great job reading the book and she is a good speaker. |
| Real Change: From the World That Fails to the World That Works by Regnery Publishing WE CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF OUR TIME |
This well-written, compelling book is truly a tour-de-force for its clear statement of our current national problems and the solutions that are needed to turn the US back on track as a nation of acheivement.
The critical problem undermining America's well being, according to the author, is the unresponsive interference of government bureacracies dominated by the labor union mindset. About this there is no question, and I have seen how this mindless turf protection works its way down to the section head level where the mindlessness is enforced and creativity and problem solving solutions are shunned.
The solutions are clear enough. Define the problem, set metrics to measure progress, develop standards of measurable accountability, and work towards goals to get things done. The private sector does it all the time (or they would fail). Pressure needs to be applied on our political leaders from the President to the city clerk to make the necessary changes.
If I had one criticism of the book, it is this. The section on Homeland Security dealing with global Islamic Terrorism and Appendix 8 ("What if? An alternate History of the War since 9/11) should have appeared much earlier in the book. Why? If you think about it, if we don't solve and win the war on terror fast by developing a truly winning strategy, including paying for it by increasing defense spending, the rest of the book won't matter.
It is the defining issue of our time. |

I truly believe that Newt Gingrich is one of the smartest men in Washington.
He should be running for President and is just what we need to get this mess straightened out.
Every One Should Read This book and it should be "Compulsory" Reading...
