We don't make widgets : overcoming the myths that keep government from radically improving / Ken Miller.

This book brings to light three myths about government : we don't make widgets, we don't have customers, and we're not here to make a profit. It exposes these myths as obstacles to efficient government but then shows how governments are actually production factories with a bottom line and customers, just like real businesses have. -- from the Publisher
