The school that was never designed for your child. The governance failures hiding in plain sight. The prevention that is always cheaper than the cure - and never happens. The systems that exhaust the people inside them while protecting the people at the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.B.

It is a book that argues we are too quick to call what is broken inevitable - and that the people inside our institutions, our systems, and our own lives are capable of choosing differently. What is designed can be designed better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnter the collection anywhere. Each essay stands alone.
