(Got secondhand and never read. dust jacket has some light wear & tear (no actual tears) otherwise very good condition) America is drowning in law, legality, bureaucratic process. Abandoning our common sense and individual sense of responsibility, we live in terror of the law, in awe of procedure, at war with one another. Philip K. Howard has written the explosive manifesto for liberation-one of the most talked about sociopolitical treatises of our time. Citing dozens of examples of bureaucratic overkill-everything from the labeling of window cleaner as a toxic substance to the U.S. Department of Defense spending $2 billion on travel and $2.2 billion procesisng the paperwork for that travel-The Death of Common Sense shows how far we have wanderred, how we got into this mess, and how we can-and must-get out. Impressive-thoroughly researched..pointing to logical solutions..about what works and doesn't work in the United States.#nonfiction#Law#usa
