Who Is Government?: The Untold Story of Public Service

I was hoping for a deep dive into all the functions of government, loaded like a baked potato of hard facts.

I should have realized this was not it. it isn't called "what is government" and Michael lewis stories are well known for their characters.

with the said, these stories were powerful. and there was a chapter on the bureau of Labor statistics that did give me a taste of what I originally wanted. SUPER fascinating.

the faces of government are real. non political (of sorts) and they are worthy of more than just a chapter and a fair bit of respect.

it's a tough read now knowing what happened to the size of government during the current administration.

a lot of rebuilding needs to happen. but hopefully that means a lot of new stories we can do a better job of sharing, appreciating and creating.
