If only we could fix this system, voters hope, our democracy would work the way it was designed. But is government broken, or are the people we hire each Election Day not up to the job? \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eYou Won -- Now What?\u003c\/i\u003e turns the tables on the government-reform debate. The answer is not to reinvent government but to reinvent government officials. \u003cbr\u003e Taegan D. Goddard and Christopher Riback use real-life stories to analyze the failures and successes of politicians from every level of government. Drawing on these examples, the authors identify the eight traits of effective public officials. These commonsense solutions prove that government is personal: good people can make a difficult system work. \u003ci\u003eYou Won -- Now What?\u003c\/i\u003e explains to politicians and voters alike how government works -- and how it can work better.","brand":"Scribner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44665330008319,"sku":"9780684852034","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_5d36edc6-f29d-47b1-841f-df6165967aa1.jpg?v=1774450937","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780684852034","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
