The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy

I liked this more than I thought I would. Was pleasantly surprised to see it was somehow not very partisan. I certainly wasn't expecting to feel like I should be working in government. If “Born to Run” can make anyone consider running, this book does the same for joining a governmental agency/department.

One of my favorite parts of this book is how it describes what kinds of problems are solved by different departments – the Departments of Energy, Commerce, and the National Weather Service for instance. I'd love a recommendation for a book that goes into more depth here, especially if it keeps from getting dry like Michael Lewis always seems to manage!
