"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; Those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ fr

Ein sehr interessanter und packender Roman, der die Atmosphäre der Zeit hervorragend einfängt, obwohl einige Teile etwas langsamer wirken.
Worth the money alone for the extracts about a wide range of essential tasks the government does, often hidden behind misleading names in unexpected ministeries. Or the discrepancy between world class research vs. outdated procedures and dated equipment. Lots of insight far beyond the current political situation.Like his other books, this is a journalist writing. The book is rich in interviews of 1st hand sources; "the fifth risk" is actually a quote.The scary part is to imagine what damage the current ignorance, neglect and looting of the system may cause.
Michael Lewis, in his usual brilliant style, describes the responsibilities of several US government agencies that add great value to the country. He then describes the lackluster and incompetent way Trump appointees came in to take over those agencies without even understanding what they did.This book is a must read now that we are experiencing the longest government shutdown on record.
Essential reading for anybody interested in the many invisible ways government, anywhere, is often the unassuming driver of progress.I only wish there was more of it to read.
