63rd book of 2019. 4.5 stars, here’s how America runs.

Through personal experience I know tech and government. Finance has been reported on to death. But that leaves about 80% of the economy that remains a mystery.

Kochland shines a light on what feels like the everyday American economy, through the lens of a family empire that has steadily grown over the last 40 years. In this book the patriarchs libertarian leanings are simply an outgrowth of the company religion market based management. Rubinstein with the feds lead the company down the center of a heavily regulated path and away from the disasters of enron and lehman brothers. As good if not better than private empire.



Great overview of Koch enterprises and Charles Koch's philosophy. Too big a story to tell in one book, but Leonard makes a great effort. Learned a lot.
