Want to send political leaders a copy of The New State?

[Matthew Shapiro]

This is the lowest-cost edition of The New State I've found - it can be purchased for about $10 on Amazon. It's a reproduction of the 1918 edition. Not a 100% clean copy - has some marks from the original that it was copied from. But it's low cost. I ordered it to check on the quality, with the idea in mind of buying a whole bunch of copies to send to political leaders -- with a note to provide some context and encouragement for reading, of course.

Excellent idea Matthew. Adding a short summary (created by an AI program) could be a game changer to involve political leaders (at every level). One of the barriers of engaging key persons in publications they have never heard of is always a lack of time and constantly overstretching of current affairs in their calendars.

And perhaps more important than a summary is a pitch to intrigue the audience enough to open the book. With regard to both that and any summary, I'm quite sure we don't need AI to write it, and think that should done by a human deeply familiar with and passionate about the work.   ~ Matthew
