People feel angry and let down by their leaders, as well as by the institutions that dominate their lives: political parties, government bureaucracy, and corporations. Yet the cause of this malaise, according to political–advisor–turned–tech–CEO Steve Hilton, is not being addressed by politicians on the left or the right.
Hilton argues that much of our daily experience—from the food we eat, to the governments we elect, to the economy on which our wealth depends, to the way we care for our health and well–being—has become too big, too bureaucratic, and too distant from the human scale.
More Human sets out a radical manifesto for change, aimed at the root causes of our problems rather than just the symptoms. Whether it’s using the latest advances in neuroscience to inform the fight against poverty and inequality, or applying lessons from America’s most radical schools to transform our children’s education, this book is an agenda for rethinking and redesigning the outdated systems and structures of our politics, government, economy, and society to make them more suited to the way we want to live our lives today. To make them more human.

If we could have it all...
By Michael Flynn
I thought this was a decent book to read with some good ideas, and would have given this 4 stars had Mr. Hilton not incredulously and furiously argued for certain things that I thought were just plain absurd and/or ignorant. This is a book filled with a collection of Mr. Hilton's proposals of area's where "things" need to be "more human". He does not linger long on opposing arguments, maybe a sentence here or there, and mostly just plows right past them without really answering their challenges. So I'm going to present the opposing arguments in this review, so this will sound harsh, but I paid $30 for this book! I want to be smacked out of my conservative worldview by convincing arguments!
- He does not like money in politics, and thinks it should be limited somehow. He does not like the Citizens United decision. This is a common sentiment, though he does not devote much time thinking about the alternative. For example, should Hillary Clinton be able to censor documentaries that portray her in a negative light, which was the issue under debate with the Citizen's United case?
- He does not like the government's general lack of due diligence with it's policy crafting. He also thinks it should be more like Silicon Valley and have hackathons and stuff. I can't disagree with the due diligence part, the government *absolutely* should follow up with their policy decisions to make sure they are being implemented exactly as expected, and things should be adjusted if otherwise. But good luck getting the government to do that! And you're simply not going to be able to hire great "hackers" if you're going to pay them a government salary, with pay scaling strictly with tenure and authority.
- He hates our "factory"-like schools and thinks that across the board we should switch to small class sizes, with free-range teaching where students learn the joy of learning by not being forced to work. News-flash: learning useful skills isn't always going to be joyful, and sometimes students must be motivated to do things they wouldn't necessarily do on their own. It also isn't clear to me how he expects to pay for such a school system, especially if he expects it to be universal. So we're going to triple each teacher's pay and triple the number of teachers, and then triple all the infrastructure to coordinate that, and this to go along with our universal health care system, and perhaps even universal basic income? Let's get competent teachers into the inner city before we jump off the edge of the earth.
- He doesn't like the American healthcare system because it is too expensive and not universal. He doesn't like the UK's healthcare system because it is too bureaucratic and over-strained (he does not mention how it is two-tiered as well!). I understood where he was coming from, but he tries to have it every which way. In general he thinks we should have "less medicine, more health", but he even acknowledges how that naturalistic style didn't work for Steve Jobs. He begrudges the self-defensive behaviors of US hospitals over-testing people to avoid malpractice suits, but running a hospital without doing those defensive checks is impossible because eventually you are going to get sued. He wants a universal healthcare system like the UK that is personalized like the US? Sounds great.
- He thinks our way of producing food neglects the rights of animals. He acknowledges that buying locally sourced, organic food is more expensive but to him it's worth it. Unclear how this would scale.
- He thinks we should double the minimum wage? But what about the people that lose their jobs to account for this? Shouldn't that come up somewhere, since it's the canonical argument against raising the minimum wage? In Mr. Hilton's world, businesses can always afford to pay their workers more because they were really just routing the extra money to the CEOs. He acknowledges a potential problem with small business but doesn't really address it.
- He thinks we need to encourage fatherhood and good parenting. What about other programs where government has tried to nudge people's personal lives, like Japan and France's feeble fertility programs? Good luck.
- He wants to ban pornography for kids. Good luck, not that it's not a noble goal...
- We should have lots of green buildings and stuff, not square, square is bad, contributes to race riots apparently? Round. Organic.
I've certainly missed some stuff, but this covers most of the stuff that was tugging at the back of my consciousness while I read this book. I think in general it suffers from a lack of the concept of scarcity, but maybe that's the Silicon Valley attitude these days.

Did not strike a chord
By Athan
I did not much like Kirsten Dunst in Spiderman. Too plain, too girl-next-door, too whiny.
Completely different story as Marie Antoinette, though. I mean OH MY GOD was she perfect in that role. Haughty, sultry, manipulative, vaguely Germanic. Is there any German in her? Probably.
Still, she’s got nothing on Steve Hilton.
He’s probably a re-incarnation. And he knows it, of course. Like when he proclaims that “those who want to see food produced through more human, less barbaric means are often dismissed as out of touch. You know: ‘let them eat seasonal, organic, locally sourced, fair-trade cake’”
And so it is that the author himself sums up the whole book on page 120…
You don’t believe me, be my guest and go read it; however be warned that
1. The tone is that of a rant, a whiny (that word, again) ”luddite’s manifesto”
2. Half the stuff that bothers him is on the mend
3. The other half really does not matter
4. The “more human” theme was added on top; it truly isn’t a common thread
So he worries about food quality, but the truth is Kellogg’s breakfast cereal is stuck on the shelves these days, along with fizzy drinks. Young people, poor young people, are eating better than ever before. The tide has turned.
He worries about how wasteful we are with energy, but Western European per capita energy consumption peaked in 1974, Japanese in 1990, South Korean in 1998 and US, finally, in 2008. The tide has turned.
He worries about the rich entrenching their children’s privilege through a donation-fuelled and tutor-enhanced attendance of the top universities, while from the other side of his mouth heralding the advent of continuous lifetime education through MOOCs like Udacity. The tide has turned.
He seems to have missed the fact that the Labor government (no friends of mine, but credit where credit is due) made it feasible for me to take two weeks’ paternity leave when each of my kids was born. The tide has turned.
And then there’s the stuff that’s really not that big a deal.
Yes, farming should be improved. The antibiotics thing really isn’t on. But good luck feeding 7 billion people on organically grown food, Mr Hilton. And in a world where 30% of kids born in India are stunted in their growth, let’s put the food on the table before we start getting too difficult. And in a world where there’s human organ harvesting in China (to say nothing of the roughly 10,000 executions per annum) it’s just a little bit too precious to worry about the suffering of chickens.
It’s not all bad. This was a book that singularly failed to entertain me, but at least it did have some good ideas (that’s what Steve Hilton is famous for) and it did make me think. To wit:
• There’s plenty to be said for “devolution,” which he advocates in the first chapter on Government
• He makes a strong case for a “living wage”
• His idea that we need to address families rather than their itemized problems has got to be right
• The idea that if you work for an institution that is backed by the government your salary should be capped at the same level as a government salary has a lot of merit (though the rest of the banking rant was quite possibly the worst in the book in terms of stridency per subject knowledge)
And there’s also some left-field stuff. Like making a law against our kids having mobile devices. Aha. And how exactly do we go enforcing that law? Suppose a cop catches my daughter with an iPhone. What next? A night at her Majesty’s?
I was trying to decide if this was a one star or a two star book. Then I got to the postscript which is entitled “A First Step” where Steve Hilton very eloquently makes the case that if you have strong feelings about stuff, like he clearly does, you need to stop what you’re doing and run for office.
And that made me realize that I can sit here and criticize him, but at least he had the whatever it takes to get involved in politics and try to change something, while I’m just sitting here lobbing criticism at his ideas, secure in my fat banking job. So three stars from me, then.
------------------------------------------------------
HOT OFF THE PRESS: In yesterday's budget (July 8, 2015), George Osborne has introduced a "living wage." As Janan Ganesh says in today's FT "the chancellor made the announcement twice to savour the reaction on the opposing benches, which blended rage at his plagiarism, shock at his daring and the gutwrenching realisation that here was a policy they could not possilby oppose." George Osborne may not have been plagiarising from Labour, though, as readers of this book know very well. So "bravo" to Steve Hilton.

A new way to look at the world
By Jeff D. Sandefer
If you are looking for a new and uplifting way to see the world, More Human is a must read.
Steve Hilton reframes issues so it feels like you are seeing them for the first time. A great way to escape the stale "us versus them" rhetoric and find a more positive way to live your life and impact the world.
