The next one is Radical Help by Hilary Cottom, who is a Brit looking at the social safety net, the workforce training system, the healthcare system. She takes that concept I have in the book of user needs over government needs and just pushes them so much further in a way that is really inspiring.

And I just think she moves the Overton window about what it would mean to truly meet user needs in government funded systems. I hope everybody who works in social services and healthcare would read it.
