A Great Primer.......2007-07-27
This book is a basic introduction to the various philosophies of economics. I found the book to be very interesting and read it through in one evening. It's an outstanding tool for those, like me, who have never had much interest in economic theory. It assumes that you are, like the average American, ignorant of the basic systems and definitions. The authors explain the concepts clearly and concisely.
The most important fact for me was the insistence of the authors in several places in the book that the American system of economics is NOT capitalism. Although most people think it is, our economic philosophy is actually a system of Interventionism. Interventionism is a system that is based on capitalism, but then the state is allowed (and even asked) to manipulate the playing field for the benefit of some and the detriment of many others. It is interventionism, and not capitalism, which makes sure the elite keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. In a truly capitalist society, the playing field is level and there is NO coercion or violence in regard to economical exchange. Interventionism always leads to socialism.
This understanding of the American economic system helped me immensely. It is not capitalism that I have had trouble with, but interventionism! True capitalism cannot be coercive or violent, and if approached biblically and with wisdom will lead to prosperity.
This book has also enticed me to attempt to tackle other, more "meaty", books on economics - especially in the biblical tradition.
My only complaint is that while the book rightly confronts left-wing evangelical thought that favors socialistic intervention to redistribute wealth, it completely misses the equally destructive expansion of neofascist intervention and big government statism on the right. This could be (hopefully) because it was written before the effects of the Bush administration were clearly seen.
Good for What It's Designed to Be.......2007-01-05
"A Biblical Economics Manifesto" is designed to be a primer for those who have never seriously studied economics or what the Bible says about it. Nash and Gills systematically present basic economic concepts, and then address what the Bible says (and really doesn't say) about capitalism, interventionism and socialism. They also try to clarify misconceptions that some Christians have about wealth and money in general.
At only 90+ pages, Nash and Gills' treatment of economics, in general, and the type of system the Bible supports, in particular, is extremely basic - hitting only the general concepts without going into much detail. I would have preferred a much more detailed, scholarly argument which supports their thesis and refutes those of liberal, socialistic Christians more thoroughly.
But the authors' main point does come through that only capitalism is embraced by proper biblical exegesis as the best, most efficient and most humane economic system for God's greatest creation (Mankind) to utilize in the furtherance of His will. As the book says, "To quote [Arthur] Shenfield, among all the economic options, only capitalism `operates on the basis of respect for free, independent, responsible persons. All other systems in varying degrees treat men as less than this. Socialist systems above all treat men as pawns to be moved about by the authorities, or as children to be given what the rulers decide is good for them, or as serfs or slaves.'"
It is this respect that capitalism affords human beings as free, independent and responsible individuals which allows them to reach their fullest potential as the image-bearers of God.
Economics: yes; biblical: no.......2006-07-25
On the face of it, this book provides a simple yet compelling case for the superiority of capitalism over socialism. Because humans are imperfect, socialism is bound to fail, and this has proven true in practice over and over again.
There's just one problem: this purports to be a book on biblical economics. Sadly, the Bible is very little in evidence in this small book. The sum total of biblical proof for the authors' thesis comes from the story of the Israelites request for a king and the story of Abraham's purchase of a gravesite for his wife Sarah. The former has very little to do with economics, but rather a comparison of monarchy with theocracy (or, more generally, the perils of government intervention). The latter, while supporting the point, is a far cry from a theological justification for capitalism. The remaining biblical passages quoted in the book are brought up in an attempt to undermine biblical arguments for socialism (more about that later) and to encourage personal responsibility with regard to money.
I am not an economist (neither are the authors, incidentally) so I am not prepared to propose an alternative biblical economics manifesto. The Bible says very little about economic systems, particularly as related to government intervention. Rather, the Bible speaks to individuals and how they should govern their personal economic dealings: caring for widows and orphans, not charging interest, using fair weights and measures, not accumulating wealth, etc.
One notable exception is the Old Testament mandate for a year of Jubilee, in which, every 50 years, land that was sold to settle a debt returned to its original owners. This passage has been used to provide biblical support for socialism and the authors go to some lengths to refute this claim. Their refutation, however, only nibbles at the edges, and resorts to implying that God might not have meant for this law to be enforced. While it may be stretching things to use this law as support for socialism, it seems to me that this law does say something about God's intentions regarding economic justice.
This book also attempts to refute some of the purported disadvantages of capitalism. The authors effectively deal with issues like greed and selfishness, noting that capitalism is based on mutual self-interest, which typically keeps such things in check. However, they miss several important points: (1) mutual self-interest rarely protects the environment; there is little short-term incentive for business to care for the environment, and little leverage for customers to force them to do so. (2) Mutual self-interest requires that consumers have choices. The authors insist that monopolies are the result of government intervention, which may explain some cases, but ignores cases like Microsoft, effectively a monopoly, and the consequences of such a monopoly. (3) Mutual self-interest requires that consumers be well-informed and protected from fraud. The authors gloss quickly over this point as if it is just an annoyance which is easily dealt with. In fact, 100 years ago this was a significant problem in the US and is still a problem in many developing countries. Socialism may not be the answer, but finding the right balance of government intervention is not as easy as the authors imply.
Finally, an interesting irony: one of the authors (Dr. Gills) has likely benefited from one of the biggest artificial economies in the world: government-subsidized health care. His specialty, cataract extraction, is almost exclusively focused on senior citizens on Medicare. Cataract surgery is a notoriously overused procedure, since it is easy to perform, relatively safe, well-compensated, and involves little economic disincentive for the patient. Dr. Gills should contemplate how his life would be different if patients waited until they really needed the surgery and could afford it before getting it, i.e., if it was truly market driven.
Worth the price.......2003-08-19
I like the approach of the authors. The text introduces economic concepts without loading you down on vocabulary. It also confronts liberal or left-leaning evangical thought that favors socialist intervention to redistribute wealth.
If you are working on buildings a biblical worldview, this book is a great way to start learning about economics.
... I highly recommend this to supplement your reading.
Balanced perspective.......2003-04-12
I just finished this book and it was my first exposure to Dr. Gills. It is an easy read and presents a good argument for the morality of capitalism. I especially appreciated Dr. Gills' characterisation of the American economy as interventionist...as opposed to capitalistic.
Worth the read!
Book Description
For over a century, Americans have translated their cultural anxieties and hopes into dramatic demands for educational reform. Although policy talk has sounded a millennial tone, the actual reforms have been gradual and incremental. Tinkering toward Utopia documents the dynamic tension between Americans' faith in education as a panacea and the moderate pace of change in educational practices.
In this book, David Tyack and Larry Cuban explore some basic questions about the nature of educational reform. Why have Americans come to believe that schooling has regressed? Have educational reforms occurred in cycles, and if so, why? Why has it been so difficult to change the basic institutional patterns of schooling? What actually happened when reformers tried to "reinvent" schooling?
Tyack and Cuban argue that the ahistorical nature of most current reform proposals magnifies defects and understates the difficulty of changing the system. Policy talk has alternated between lamentation and overconfidence. The authors suggest that reformers today need to focus on ways to help teachers improve instruction from the inside out instead of decreeing change by remote control, and that reformers must also keep in mind the democratic purposes that guide public education.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent, although dated.......2006-11-19
Having read Tinkering Toward Utopia for one of my graduate classes in administration at the GSE at Rutgers, I would summarize that the book is excellent, but a little bit dated.
Tyack & Cuban present a well-done overview of the American educational system, from its beginnings in the early 20th century through the mid-1980's. Their theme, "tinkering toward utopia," is an interesting take on addressing school reform throughout the century and sheds light on the problems and pitfalls of "overpromising" and "hyperbole" that have existed--and continue to exist--in American education. Overall, the text is easy to read and is replete with well-developed examples.
My only caution is that although the ideas presented continue through and are valied in modern times, the examples and data contained in the work are, for lack of a better word, dated--11 years in public education, especially with 5+ of those years overshadowed by NCLB, is a long time of increased levels of accountability that are missing in what could be "a century (and a little more) of public school reform." One would hope that a revised edition be published in the near future with a chapter or two specifically devoted to those last 5 years of the 20th century and the transition into the 21st.
However, overall, the text is excellent and highly informative.
Must-read for ed reformers.......2006-06-26
The history of public school reform in the United States has been characterized by institutional inertia and myriad failed attempts at wholesale change. Although policy elites, educators, school pundits, and the lay public regularly disagree about why we have intractable schools, David Tyack and Larry Cuban, in Tinkering toward Utopia, argue that a careful and complete understanding of schools as institutions has long eluded those who attempt to effect change in schools. The authors also claim that incremental change in education is a natural and viable phenomenon, not a symbol of a failed system. By rendering these arguments through sociopolitical and historical lenses, they present a comprehensive take on the stagnancy of school reform.
Although the word tinkering can connote clumsiness or incompetence, the authors use it in an equivocal sense in order to argue that educational change for better or worse has been piecemeal, largely due to what they call the grammar of schooling. Radical reforms, such as merit-based teacher pay and open classrooms, have repeatedly failed to make a lasting impression on schools largely because they have attempted to alter the structural and behavioral regularities that are entrenched in the notion of what constitutes a "real school." The argument, although effective, is nothing new: Sarason's (1971) illustrative example of the "man from outer space" immediately comes to mind. However, Tyack and Cuban take this argument to another level by diagnosing many failed reform efforts as "too intramural" (p. 108), and incongruent with external forces (e.g., college admission requirements, labor market needs).
How the grammar of schooling was engendered and why it has remained seemingly immutable is the real thrust of the problem. Like good scholars, Tyack and Cuban do not ignore political dimensions. They soundly argue that despite the ostensible claim that centralized governance of schools by experts would forever "take the schools out of politics," technocratic control of schools actually had just the opposite effect in practice, for the act of devolving power to a single group has the word politics written all over it. Furthermore, the structural regularities that exist today (e.g., age-graded schools, egg-crate classrooms, departmentalized high schools) secured their places in the schooling schema long ago by first gaining the necessary political support, and then by demonstrating that they were efficient and easily replicable. Crystallized school traditions have essentially become the blinders that prevent the universe of alternatives to be considered.
Tyack and Cuban clearly expose their advocacy of the classroom teacher as a critical change agent. Their argument is lucid and point-blank: schools change reforms. "Once the schoolroom door was shut, most teachers retained considerable autonomy to instruct the children as they saw fit" (p. 115). Unsurprisingly, thwarted attempts to introduce change from the outside were typically ones which grossly misunderstood or failed to take into account teacher perspectives. The authors describe reforms as blueprints meant to be altered, not followed indiscriminately, and they buttress this notion with empirical evidence detailing how reforms have been tempered, marginalized, or even rejected by teachers. While careful to avoid the emotional arguments such as the oft-cited teacher-as-unsung-hero plea, they extend a clarion call to empowerment of those who work closer to the front-lines of education.
As a caveat, Tyack and Cuban caution readers not to judge the success of reforms by frequency, longevity, and even fidelity of implementation. Rather, those who understand the value of local differences and teacher concerns, and more importantly, that schools are simply not "wax to be imprinted" (p. 83) but rather highly dynamic and idiosyncratic institutions, will be best able to wield the elusive wand of change.
A different take on educational history.......2005-11-12
If you are looking for a general history of American public education, look elsewhere. However, if you are interested in an examination of *why* American education is the way it is, then this book is for you. Tyack and Cuban delve into questions that should concern anyone with an interest in educational reform, such as: What has driven our desire to change education? Why do some reforms work while others don't? Their examination of these questions alone is worth the read, and their style (concise and clear) makes the reading itself a pleasure.
Best Brief Intro to Educational Reform in the US.......2001-12-09
Tinkering Toward Utopia is simply the best brief introduction to the history of educational reform in the US available. Anyone with a genuine interest in historical explanations of why grand schemes of school reform fail and why "crisis" is the way the US has tended to view its need for school reform, will be rewarded by this clearly written account. The book substitutes complex historical analysis for the usual simple-minded polemics of writing on education, but the authors do not weigh the book down with a lot of historical evidence and inpenetrable footnotes. I highly recommend this book for anyone who cares about the prospects of reforming public schools in the US.
disappointed after reading this book.......2000-10-11
Just as someone said below, "Good book for a report but not for pleasure reading".
Book Description
On a lark, journalist Danny Wallace placed an ad in a small London paper that offered two simple words: "join me." What followed was astounding. From all over the world, thousands of replies poured in, effectively "joining" Danny-but in what, he had no idea. When "Joinees" began referring to him as "The Leader," Danny quickly understood one thing-he had just created a cult.
Join Me quickly became a phenomenon. With the help of a few trusted Joinees and the crackpot leader of a well-established cult, Danny promulgates his uncle's dreams of a Utopian society, struggles to keep his girlfriend, manages to stay humble amidst the newfound celebrity, and remarkably provides a sense of purpose and belonging to Joinees everywhere.

A hilarious look at faith.......2007-09-03
Danny had the idea to start his own cult/religion. Like everything else he does, the results are hilarious.
This book, first and foremost, shows how disillusioned people need something, anything, to believe in. This fact is evinced by how many people are willing to blindly join Danny and follow him. They do not question the direction of the organization until it becomes clear to many of them that there isn't one. Even though the book was hilarious, I found this to be a sad commentary on faith and belief today.
Don't let the above paragraph fool you. The reader is treated to a hilarious account of Danny asking people to join an entity with no purpose, and then scrambling to find a purpose when there is grumbling in the ranks. His neurotic side is in full force, as shown by his imaginary war against an overeager Joinee. His interactions with his increasingly suspicious girlfriend also make this worth the price of admission.
Since this book was published, the Join Me movement has swelled in size to several thousand members. It is heartwarming to see that such a good organization has so many followers.
This is a great book that makes the reader laugh out loud and think about faith at the same time. Highly recommended.
What an original!.......2007-09-02
How could I help but buy this book following up reading Wallace's "Yes Man?" Wallace's instincts are never suspect (for me at least). He seems so innocently interested in the outcome of his little experiments, unmindful of the influence he inevitably creates almost in spite of himself. Here he puts an ad in a local newspaper that simply says, "Join me," asked for a photograph and gave his address. What happened next is told with humor and wow, gee whiz astonishment.
A trickle of people joined Danny. For what? You might ask? So did they. And he had no idea. Yet, a movement grew. Yes, that's right, a movement! Ultimately, (after what seems an inordinate amount of time to string people along even though they willingly "joined"), Wallace evolves his movement into one of doing good -random acts of kindness.
This tale is fascinating on two levels. One, it shows how easily people can be convinced to join something just for the sake of joining (scary really). Another is the way in which someone who has absolutely no idea what he is doing, can create a worldwide "organization."
Luckily in this case, Join Me is a cult for good.
And Thou Spoketh Unto Amazon Readers Saying, Readeth Thy Wallace's Book and for Those That Headeth Thy Advice Days of Gladness W.......2007-06-03
Join Me is a fascinating and entertaining read that will inspire you as well as have you laughing and laughing especially Danny's first experience at ordering a drink in Paris. This is a sensational read that you won't be able to put down until the last page. I especially like the couple of summary lines of each chapter written like biblical verses.
Danny Wallace decides to put a small advertisement in Loot with simply the words JOIN ME Send one passport sized photo to .... just for the fun of seeing what would happen. He is ecstatic to receive a photograph from Christian Jones meets up with him and discovers he has no answers to his perfectly reasonable questions of what he is joining up to. The photos and new joinees continue to go on and Wallace must decide what his collective is about since he is being told by his friends that one of the joinees is acting like he's going to make a hostile takeover of his people. He must choose between a good and evil. Once this decision is made the flood gates open and his original goal of three people to beat his Swiss relative's achievements of starting a community is retargeted to 1000. Getting 1000 joinees becomes an obsession and his girlfriend is blissfully unaware having instructed him not to play any more stupid boy projects or they would be over.
JOIN HIM!!.......2006-08-07
The new Jesus? No.
But a nice guy, nevertheless, who has a mission.
What is it?
Well, even Danny wasn't certain when he placed an ad in a local paper saying "JOIN ME", complete with a request for your passport photo, and an address you could respond to--but then whoever starts off in life knowing exactly what they are doing?
The end result is a movement of do-gooders, affectionally referred to as "The Karma Army", who are moved to practice random acts of kindness on fridays, up to and including buying an old man a cup of tea, paying someone's bus fare, washing your neighbor's car when they aren't looking, and just generally putting goodness back into an increasingly bitter world.
If you are turning on the news and are just too saddened by it, go grab this book and you'll immediately perk up.
And then, just maybe you'll join the Karma Army too---and try to make the world a better place.
Join Him!
I did. (:
Want to Change the World?.......2006-01-28
If you've ever wondered why people join a group, the answer could be for no apparent reason. If you think this sounds ludicrous, just read Danny Wallace's JOIN ME! and you'll discover that it can be true. This book, which is a serious story told in an amusing way, tells of an offbeat journalist who puts an ad in a newspaper with just the words "join me" and information of where he could be contacted. Before long, people responded much to Wallace's surprise. When he decided he has to figure out a purpose for the group, he comes up with an idea that sounds good based on the thoughts of one of his eccentric uncles who wanted to start a utopian society in Switzerland.
The charm of the book comes not from its clever idea, but from Wallace himself. We discover he's a goofball of sorts, lovable and quirky, yet intelligent and serious enough to capture our interest. We read about the way he lives his life, the interactions he has with the "joinees" who are a varied lot at best, and we meet his beleaguered girlfriend Hanne, who more often than not does not know what to do with he eccentric boyfriend, but she's not the static girlfriend with the weight of the world on her shoulders. While readers understand her frustration, they also tend to like Wallace, and there are times we want to say get rid of her. Readers of his latest book YES MAN learn what could have been predicted after reading the book-the relationship does not survive.
At the core of the book it's not a silly story. Rather it shows the goodness of people, a desire to belong, and a belief that belonging to some group--any group, can be positive and at times life changing. It's a feel good book and an enjoyable read, though I will have to admit, it can at times be repetitious so it might have been a "feel better book" if it had been a few pages thinner.

Book Description
This dictionary provides ammunition for those who disagree with the early twentieth-first century orthodoxy that 'There is no alternative to free market liberalism and managerialism'. Using hundreds of entries and cross-references, it proves that there are many alternatives to the way that we currently organize ourselves. These alternatives could be expressed as fictional utopias, they could be excavated from the past, or they could be described in terms of the contemporary politics of anti-corporate protest, environmentalism, feminism and localism. Part reference work, part source book, and part polemic, this dictionary provides a rich understanding of the ways in which fiction, history and today's politics provide different ways of thinking about how we can and should organize for the coming century.

PNW Utopias.......2007-07-03
This an amazing and well written book. I first read "Utopia on Puget Sound" and became hooked on Pacific Northwest utopian communities. Believe it or not, there were a number that lasted for a while. There were a lot that failed.
Promise of Paradise does a great job of respectfully recounting the utopia of British Columbia. This is a MUST read for those interested in the history of the Pacific Northwest or utopias.

Against Management: Organization in the Age of Managerialism
ASIN: 1405100729 |
Book Description
Are ideas about utopia redundant? Is there any point in speculating about better alternatives to Western liberalism? This volume addresses these questions, evaluating the prospects for utopian thought and practice in a world organized by market managerialism.The contributors to this book all treat utopia as an organizational matter. Rather than focusing on the literary, historical or political meaning of utopias, they see utopias as statements of alternative organization, attempts to put forward plans which remedy the shortcomings of a particular age. Using examples as diverse as train accidents, novels and gardening, they engage in a variety of novel and thought-provoking ways with issues of organization and disorganization, dystopia and crypto-utopia, management and anti-management.
