Sinossi

In an era of unprecedented challenges and opportunities, Agents of Transformation: A New Approach to Government Service offers a refreshing and transformative perspective on the role of government and the people who serve it. This comprehensive guidebook challenges the conventional wisdom that bureaucracy and rigid adherence to rules are the only way to achieve efficiency and accountability in government.

With compelling arguments and real-world examples, the book exposes the limitations of the bureaucratic paradigm and its unintended consequences. It argues that the traditional focus on central control, rigid rules, and economy often leads to a decline in accountability, a misallocation of resources, and a stifling of innovation.

Agents of Transformation introduces a new approach to government service, one that is customer-centric, collaborative, and empowered. At the heart of this transformation are the Agents of Transformation—public servants who are passionate about making a difference and are willing to challenge the status quo. The book delves into the qualities and characteristics of effective Agents of Transformation and provides practical guidance on how to develop these skills.

Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of creating a culture of innovation within government. It argues that innovation is not just about implementing new technologies or processes, but also about fostering a mindset that encourages creativity, experimentation, and risk-taking. The authors provide strategies for cultivating a culture of innovation and offer examples of successful innovation initiatives in the public sector.

Agents of Transformation: A New Approach to Government Service is a clarion call for public servants, policymakers, and citizens alike to reimagine the role of government and embrace a new era of public service. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring guide for anyone who is committed to creating a government that is responsive, effective, and truly serves the needs of the people.

This book is essential reading for public servants at all levels of government, as well as for students of public administration, policymakers, and anyone who is interested in improving the effectiveness and responsiveness of government.

    Ideas build and destroy civilizations. Things are not going well. The need for action is now. After thousands of years of human development, our humanity seems to be intent upon disassembling itself with WOKE, Politically Correct thought police, rejected lessons from history and art, ‘book burning’, minorities DICTATING how we live and what we MUST think, riots, homelessness or helplessness and political polarizations with open conflicts and theft in our streets. How to revitalize harmonious existence, individual respect, laws equally for us all, and spirituality either via religion or constructive logic. So to create the conditions for cooperative, harmonious, self-disciplined inter-personal life: a return to greater stability of both mind and action working together for the good of communities and an increasingly interdependent World Social Family. 
    This building and rebuilding process will take generations, the current alternative will be humanity’s exit which would be both painful and permanent. This need not be. We each can learn so confidently form a renewal of our children’s real future but only by rebuilding our thought processes, awareness, and understanding with and through calm debate, discussion, and sharing of mind.  
    Industry, agriculture, and the use of both people’s time and natural abilities matter greatly: smaller could well be far more beneficial. Creating public demand to raise output and income too often leads to waste and even harm while generating wealth for a minority, too many of whom are amoral or undeserving.  
    What is reality other than what we decide it to be? All stems from family upbringing, mental inputs and experiences; educational practices, understood beliefs, the free flow of ideas; respecting other's thoughts, and community actions, which all coalesce into formed concepts and so beliefs. These and more build our minds, humour, fears and needs. These are the very Bricks that Build Us

    Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations. Through the analyses generated by aligned think tanks, political elites on both the left and right frequently offer radically different assessments of a policy's consequences. 
     
     
     
    In The Thinkers, Fagan tells the story of how partisan think tanks displaced non-partisan experts to become the closest policy advisors to the Republican and Democratic Parties. He explores their history, how they influence policymakers, and how their influence impacts the polarization of American politics. More broadly, Fagan shows that the rise of partisan think tanks tracks closely with the increase in political polarization since the 1970s. Because they are funded and staffed by strong ideologues, partisan think tanks seek to move their party's preferences to the left or right of center. When they are successful, parties take more extreme positions than if they had only drawn information from non-partisan sources, which increases polarization. A powerful account of the impact of partisan think tanks on American democracy, The Thinkers will reshape our understanding of the fundamental drivers of the US's polarized political system.

    In a world increasingly shaped by fear, division, and rising authoritarianism, Finding My Humanity is a timely memoir that invites us back to what connects us most—our mutual capacity for love, empathy, and courage- indeed our shared humanity. Ryan Ubuntu Olson's journey begins in rural Colorado, where he wrestles with his identity in a community that offers little space for difference. As a queer young man navigating isolation, discrimination, and heartbreak, he is forced to reckon with what it means to live authentically in the face of rejection. But what begins as a personal struggle evolves into something far greater. On a conservative Catholic college campus, Ryan Ubuntu unexpectedly becomes a public advocate, confronting bias and building community. That role propels him into global human rights work, where he supports activists and inclusive development efforts in countries like Kenya, Jamaica, Peru, Malawi, and Cambodia. From the grassroots to the halls of the United Nations, Ryan Ubuntu becomes a bridge between lived experience and global policy, shaping strategies for inclusion and dignity worldwide. More than a memoir, Finding My Humanity is a reflection on what it means to turn pain into purpose—and how one person’s story can spark collective action. With raw honesty and unwavering hope, Ryan Ubuntu explores how our personal "why" can become a driving "how" in the fight for justice, connection, and change. Narrated by the author himself, the audiobook seeks to add deeper meaning to the memoir by adding the human depth and conviction that can only be expressed in the tone and intonation of the person most impacted by the memoir's greatest meaning. Whether you're seeking purpose, healing, or inspiration, this is a book for anyone ready to lead with heart in a world hungry for hope.

    In this profound exploration, the resilience of the American spirit is tested against the rising tide of misinformation and division. The narrative dissects the nation's socio-political fabric, frayed by falsehoods and ideological battles. It serves as both a cautionary tale of democracy imperiled and an impassioned plea for enlightenment. With razor-sharp insight, it calls for the rekindling of informed citizenship, urging a collective awakening to navigate the labyrinth of modern politics and to reignite the quest for truth in a world mired in digital noise.

    A Ph.D. biochemist and immunologist goes through the data on one of the greatest public policy disasters in human history—the lockdown response to COVID.  How deadly was COVID originally and after it had evolved for a year or two?  How many COVID deaths were prevented by the lockdowns?  How many people did the lockdowns throw into depression? How many people did the lockdowns kill by deaths of despair?  	But the good news from the lockdowns is it shows citizens are willing to make enormous sacrifices for their society and that we can transform society on a dime.  What if we used that for good purposes?  What if we governed for the goal of happiness instead of maximizing GDP? What if we governed to protect the planet, instead of with the exclusive goal of extending the lives of the oldest and sickest people in society, even at the cost of killing the young and middle aged by deaths of despair and destroying the education and lives of children?
