- Why did America launch a war on poverty in 1964?
- What forces doomed the noble campaign from the start?
- Who paid the cost of escalation and failure?
In Reparations to Poverty, an outside observer identifies six antagonistic forces that provoked, obstructed, and ultimately defeated the greatest ambition of the Great Society if not human experience: Public versus Private; Federal versus State and Local; Urban versus Rural and Suburban; Mainstream versus Minorities; Prevention versus Relief; and, in particular, Economic versus Social Policy. How each antagonism shaped and doomed the war on poverty and its legacy is traced in the records of participants, observers, and in a wealth of unpublished sources.

Turning the Flywheel: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great
<p><strong>A companion guidebook to the number-one bestselling <em>Good to Great</em>, focused on implementation of the flywheel concept, one of Jim Collins' most memorable ideas that has been used across industries and the social sectors, and with startups.</strong></p><p>The key to business success is not a single innovation or one plan. It is the act of turning the flywheel, slowly gaining momentum and eventually reaching a breakthrough. Building upon the flywheel concept introduced in his groundbreaking classic <em>Good to Great</em>, Jim Collins teaches readers how to create their own flywheel, how to accelerate the flywheel's momentum, and how to stay on the flywheel in shifting markets and during times of turbulence.</p><p>Combining research from his Good to Great labs and case studies from organizations like Amazon, Vanguard, and the Cleveland Clinic which have turned their flywheels with outstanding results, Collins demonstrates that successful organizations can disrupt the world around them--and reach unprecedented success--by employing the flywheel concept.</p><p>Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.</p>
