Why does the government need to be funded? A book written by Amphidromus has seven chapters and 171 pages. Amphidromus, the author's pen name, is a made-up word.

The book starts by asking the question, Why does the government need to be funded? It talks about how no one anywhere steps back to ask this question. The author sees that all we presently imagine is not all that can be imagined, and we ought not to stop asking why about things that seem to be beyond our scope of knowledge. The author believes that a political-economic structure must provide for justice and liberty in a financially sustainable way, and in his opinion, such a system does not exist in our world. Do you think the author is correct, and would you like to know if there's an answer to the question of why the government needs to be funded? Read this book to find out.

I like how each chapter has a title that gives a preview of what the chapter contains. I like books where the chapters have titles, and I appreciate the author for this. I like how the author writes to the readers in a bid to make them understand things they've never really considered. When I was reading, it felt like a teacher was trying to teach me a new topic and introduce me to something entirely new, and the author did a great job of passing along his points as well as backing them up with facts.

One of my favorite parts of the book is when the author talks about money and how it relates to the universe. It shows that the author is very vast and knowledgeable, and I like how he infused a lot of information into this book. I learned about the relationship between money and wealth, as well as the differences between the two, and I appreciated how he defined words and terms using the original Greek words.

I don't like that the book contains big terms that sound ambiguous to ordinary readers and those not familiar with the economics world, for instance, words like "Brobdingnagian," and the book doesn't even have a glossary to help readers. I had to keep going back and forth between the dictionary and the book to understand the meaning of the big words. There was a part of the book where I felt the author deviated from the theme of the book when he wrote about his near-death experience.

Nonetheless, I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it was extremely well edited and I found no errors while reading it. The book was well written, and it contains a lot of useful information written logically as well. I recommend it to readers interested in money, the government, and how it's funded, as well as to citizens of America because references were made to the American government.

I love most of the ideas the author proposed because the harsh reality is that the current economic structure is not sustainable. It would be good if most of the ideas and concepts proposed by the author are debated upon.

I enjoyed reading your review because it presented the book in a good light.

The author raised important issues that need to be given serious attention. The current economic system is no longer sustainable. There is a need to restructure and accommodate the present realities into our economic structure. I enjoyed reading your review.

The author has his points but I don't totally agree with him. The real issue is not in funding the government but in how the funds will be managed. I look forward to reading the book and understanding the author better. Wonderful review well done

This is a well-written review. Congratulations! I tried to read this book, but I can't handle the writing style, it's quite a serious tone and has difficult words, and besides, I realized the topic of politics is not my thing. So it means, I don't have the plan to finish this book. This is more suited to historians.

I loved the book. I liked how the author explained the concept of God and consciousness from a quantum physics' angle. I find the part where you decry the author's use of 'big' words hilarious. The book would really be of great insight to leaders and economists, but would, unfortunately, need a whole lot of backing by the ruling class to be effected. The book was so educational and insightful to me. Nice review!

The author's pen name is something I have never heard before, Amphidromus and I'm really curious to what it means, I am not a fan of books on commercial terms like money but this seems to talk about government. Great review.

I am not a fan of political novels, and I can't debate about that with anyone because it is not within my scope of understanding. I do like the reviewer's writing up though and I would say he/she did excellent work in this review.
