THE FIFTH RISK

Michael Lewis

New York Times Bestseller

What are the consequences if the people given control over our government have no idea how it works?

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. Michael Lewis’s brilliant narrative takes us into the engine rooms of a government under attack by its own leaders.

Comments

“Displaying his usual meticulous research and fluid prose, [Lewis] makes the federal bureaucracy come alive by focusing on a few individuals within each agency with fascinating―and sometimes heartwarming―backstories. [A] well-written primer on how the government serves citizens in underappreciated ways.”

“Fascinating―and at times harrowing…. Lewis tells an important and timely story, one that all of us who pay for, care about, and want government to work should hear.”
