Title: Government 2.0
Description: A bureaucracy built for the Industrial Age can't adapt to the Age of Information. Transformation requires uprooting our obsolete, century-old systems and replacing them with new models better suited to the 21st century. The Progressive era brought us the civil service system, the city manager, independent public authorities, administrative agencies, and the Federal Reserve. Now, in the Information Era we require similarly sweeping changes. What would they entail? How should they be implemented? How can they transform everything from education to national security, revolutionize everything from voting to commuting, solve problems from corporate fraud to welfare cheating? All this is addressed in policy prescriptions, including invaluable tips for putting the ideas into practice.
