My experience was probably tainted by my spouse’s notes jotted in the margins, which at one point brutally but accurately describes the book as Dilbert (occasionally Dilbert’s boss) writing about infrastructure. A lot of generalities mixed with a lot of facts (rail transit is important for goods!) that aren’t fit into any useful structure. Yes, we need a lot of investment in infrastructure, and yes, almost everyone will be better off in the long run, but there’s a reason that we nonetheless are letting the country fall apart around us. Kanter says this isn’t an ideological issue (meaning that we should all easily agree on the need to shore up bridges that are about to fall down, and get more people riding bikes), but it isn’t anything but ideological. She wants more public-private partnerships, magically taking the public orientation of government and the efficiency—stated rather than shown with evidence—of private profit-oriented firms, even as she writes about some notable privatization failures. Frustrating, though overall not as frustrating as the disinvestment it describes. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"One of the "50 most powerful women in the world" (The Times), best-selling author Rosabeth Moss Kanter tackles America's most urgent domestic issue. America is stuck: just look at our crumbling roads and bridges, mismanaged railways, old-fashioned and easily overloaded air traffic control system, and perpetual lack of political will to do anything about it all. In contrast, take a trip around the world. Whiz through the "Chunnel" connecting England and France, get high-speed Internet and cell service on a remote mountain in Turkey, or travel in a driverless Mercedes in Germany, and see a future of possibilities that the United States is barely glimpsing. Whether you are a small business owner with rising transportation costs, an environmentally conscious citizen worried about greenhouse gases, a champion for social justice who knows that poorer citizens are often stuck in neighborhoods with the fewest transportation options, or simply a commuter who is all-too-familiar with traffic congestion, Rosabeth Moss Kanter's bold solutions will motivate all of us to move our transportation infrastructure into a cleaner, faster, and more prosperous future"--Provided by publisher.
