Simpler: The Future of Government

Simpler: The Future of Government

For nearly four years, Cass R. Sunstein, bestselling author and President Obamaâ€™s â€œRegulatory Czar,â€ helped to oversee a revolution in better government. He explains how and whyâ€”and what comes next.

Simpler government arrived four years ago. It helped put money in your pocket. It saved hours of your time. It improved your childrenâ€™s diet, lengthened your life span, and benefited businesses large and small. It did so by issuing fewer regulations, by insisting on smarter regulations, and by eliminating or improving old regulations. Cass R. Sunstein, as administrator of the most powerful White House office youâ€™ve never heard of, oversaw it and explains how it works, why government will never be the same again (thank goodness), and what must happen in the future.

Cutting-edge research in behavioral economics has influenced business and politics. Long at the forefront of that research, Sunstein, for three years President Obamaâ€™s â€œregulatory czarâ€ heading the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, oversaw a far-reaching restructuring of Americaâ€™s regulatory state. In this highly anticipated book, Sunstein pulls back the curtain to show what was done, why Americans are better off as a result, and what the future has in store.

The evidence is all around you, and more is coming soon. Simplified mortgages and student loan applications. Scorecards for colleges and universities. Improved labeling of food and energy-efficient appliances and cars. Calories printed on chain restaurant menus. Healthier food in public schools. Backed by historic executive orders ensuring transparency and accountability, simpler government can be found in new initiatives that save money and time, improve health, and lengthen lives. Simpler: The Future of Government will transform what you think government can and should accomplish.
