The Statue of Liberty likeness illustrated on the cover of
"Enlightenment" is a very symbolic image not only for Americans but
for many other people of the world who harbor dreams for "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." However, there are many
individual and collective responsibilities that come with any such
vision.
Most Americans know orderly governmental systems are required to
maintain a civilized culture, but in many societies one often
wonders what type is most appropriate. While the western democracy
structure has had significant success to date, it is far from
perfect even within the United States.
The author has spent the past forty years working within national
and international governmental systems from the grass roots local
level to regional, state, and federal jurisdictions. In this book,
he notes the timeless lessons learned from experience and history
as well as new and innovative ways to utilize the modern age of
information technology. The net result is an effort to create "new
public excellence from tired work cultures."
In the future, it is clear that economic globalization with its
associated social and cultural impacts will bring about a new
competition between many societies and their related governmental
structures. This simple reality means that less efficient future
governments will jeopardize the very viability of their own
cultures.
Therefore, if Americans wish to effectively compete on the coming
international level of tomorrow, they must get their collective
governmental house in order today. Enlightenment illustrates how a
healthy competitive environment can be developed and sustained
without jeopardizing any of the freedoms and opportunities we have
come to expect.
