Politics is a tricky subject. Everyone believes he or she has the best solution to a problem, but these solutions are usually based on personal experiences, beliefs, and biases. I don't believe one person alone has the key to solving all of the world's political issues. This book is one economist's attempt to do just that. Hutchins begins the book by sharing why we have differing political views and philosophies and how this affects the world as a whole, and then breaking it down further and discussing conflicts within organizations. He discusses the idea of using bargaining to get people with different opinions to come together and agree on hot-button issues. While this book was very informative and thought-provoking, it was very long and academic. I think at least a quarter of it could have been trimmed for redundancy and to eliminate some tangents that, to me, didn't seem to contribute to the overall theme of the book. *ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
