Wow, and the most obvious approach would be to make the country smaller in population. Clearly the world needs fewer people, so I wonder what Yglesias' angle is. I know he is a bona fide journalist, not a quack, so I bet the book is intriguing...

I enjoyed Richard Borden's book Sage Advice recently. I'm very into quotations, and wisdom, so it was a natural fit!

If you're still interested in suggestions, and would be interested in a book that delves into psychology, philosophy, personal growth, politics, spirituality, ethics, and a good life, may I suggest Wisdom: A Very Valuable Virtue That Cannot Be Bought?

I have over 1,500 quotations by all kinds of psychologists, philosophers, authors, spiritual leaders, and activists. Diversity and quotations are my thing! Here is the one I lead off with: "When I allow myself to hope that the world will emerge from its present troubles, and that it will someday learn to give the direction of its affairs not to cruel mountebanks, but to men possessed of wisdom and courage, I see before me a shining vision: a world where none are hungry, where few are ill, where work is pleasant and tolerable, where [kindness and connectedness to others] is common, and where minds released from fear create delight for eye and ear and heart. Do not say this is impossible. It is not impossible." —Bertrand Russell, philosopher extraordinaire and pacifist

I think I can see how the politics was not welcomed by the reviewer. However, it does mention politics right on the cover, so perhaps it's just not his cup of tea...
