Yeah - I especially liked the way he talked about going about restoring craftsmanship to doing your job. I mean, goddamit, you work hard for years to educate yourself to become a teacher, a trainer, a whatever; and then they hand you a script any junior high kid could read out and tell you that you're not allowed to say anything that isn't in the script or they'll fire your ass. What did you go to school for, again?

				<P>Barry Schwartz makes a passionate call for "practical wisdom" as an antidote to a society gone mad with bureaucracy. He argues powerfully that rules often fail us, incentives often backfire, and practical, everyday wisdom will help rebuild our world.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BCD994BC-B294-4A6C-8263-9E19A866E742/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
