What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?
"The election happened," remembers Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, then deputy secretary of the Department of Energy. "And then there was radio silence." Across all departments, similar stories were playing out: Trump appointees were few and far between; those that did show up were shockingly uninformed about the functions of their new workplace. Some even threw away the briefing books that had been prepared for them.
Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders. In Agriculture the funding of vital programs like food stamps and school lunches is being slashed. The Commerce Department may not have enough staff to conduct the 2020 Census properly. Over at Energy, where international nuclear risk is managed, it’s not clear there will be enough inspectors to track and locate black market uranium before terrorists do.
Willful ignorance plays a role in these looming disasters. If your ambition is to maximize short-term gains without regard to the long-term cost, you are better off not knowing those costs. If you want to preserve your personal immunity to the hard problems, it’s better never to really understand those problems. There is upside to ignorance, and downside to knowledge. Knowledge makes life messier. It makes it a bit more difficult for a person who wishes to shrink the world to a worldview.
If there are dangerous fools in this book, there are also heroes, unsung, of course. They are the linchpins of the system―those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity keep the machinery running. Michael Lewis finds them, and he asks them what keeps them up at night.

用户评价
有点敷衍。去年Michael Lewis在名利场上写过两篇文章Why the Scariest Nuclear Threat May Be Coming from Inside the White House & Inside Trump's Cruel Campaign Against the U.S.D.A.'s Scientists，这两篇关于能源部和农业部的文章覆盖了本书2/3的内容。
评分Taking a functional democracy for granted + not understanding the role of government - Lewis为establishment的辩护其实还挺聪明的。重要的点并不是去question大政府本身而是描述一个现状（人民对政府的dependence）以及傻逼能够在这样的现状下如何ruin lives的（unless they supplant that dependency with something else - smartly, which they didn’t). 看了眼豆瓣评论觉得很多人真是读书不带脑。又及，考虑到各种因素我还是去Belarus买块荒地做当代卢梭wannabe吧。 #退出当代生活
评分简明扼要的从democratic establishment的角度阐述了三个问题：管核武器靠科学，美国农村要遭殃因为淳朴的USDA都不喜欢Trump people，飓风路线很随机预测天气还得靠卫星但是大数据还是nb
评分通过一个个故事介绍了美国能源部、农业部和商务部的职能和运作方式
