The Rule of Nobody: Saving America from Dead Laws and Broken Government

In 'The Rule of Nobody', Philip K. Howard argues that America's governing system is broken due to an overabundance of detailed rules that have replaced leadership and common sense.

He contends that this system, which tries to decree correctness through rigid laws, is inherently flawed and leads to wasteful government, rising debt, failing schools, expensive healthcare, and economic hardship.

Howard advocates for a return to the framers' vision of public law, where laws set goals and boundaries rather than dictate daily choices.

He proposes simplifying the legal system and restoring human responsibility and authority to officials and citizens to address the challenges of the modern era.
