- My goal is to better everyone's standard of living and we can do that through a collective vision and strategy.

I read this book a few years and it has changed my perspective of drafting laws as opposed to good policy. Laws, at times, do not take into account unintended consequences and changes in human behavior to either comply or circumvent said laws. Creating good policy takes into account many predicted consequences and marginalized communities.
