Book Review: Over years of writing on public policy the most frequent question from readers is, “What can we do?” One answer in a personal way is found in the new book MicroSecession by Tulsa author Jonathan Bartlett. It speaks to how the individual can add value regardless of what the economy or the government does. A family answer as Washington becomes more oblivious.
MicroSecession, as the jacket notes, “isn’t about getting rich, overthrowing the government, or abandoning civilization.” The work focuses on practical ideas for increasing personal value on the ground and, in some cases, from the ground up “giving yourself independence by decreasing your dependence” as Bartlett writes.
