5.0 out of 5 stars Though provoking, March 29, 2007
By Jeff Roubal (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book examines the changing relationship between Americans and their government. Citizens want to participate in the nuts and bolts of providing government services. The smallest details of mundane programs have become subject of public debate.
