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. Michael Lewis takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. At Agriculture, the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it's not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do. Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gain without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing the cost. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it's better never to really understand those problems. But if there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes -- unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system: those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Acquisitions, SSP   in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Large Type LT 320.97309 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Large Type LT 320.97309 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Large Type LT 320.97309 Le Unavailable Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT 320.97309 Lew Checked In Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library Large Type LT 320.97309 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Large Type LT 320.97309 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
