This book is about the decline in and deterioration of the provision of public services, over time, that has become the "new normal" particularly in the United States and across most countries (developed and developing). That this malaise owes its existence not to the lack of education, but rather to the conscious apathy and ignorance, is the pervasive theme of this book's argument and advocacy for government and public action.
