A very interesting read, highly recommended.
Newt is one of the best thinkers in America, today. He is best at policy thinking. It looks like he may be running for POTUS.
Not a wise decision, IMO, but the points he makes about the need for change, and the example of Sarko in France, make a lot of sense.
Sarko, running as the head of the party in charge for 12 years, still managed to cast himself as the outsider, and the one most able to institute change.
Instead of running for POTUS, he should join up as an advisor to FDT.

“Shlaes’s book is historical — she is a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. But the implication for today is that the interest groups are the problem.”
That’s an interesting sentence. Historical -CFR- interest group.
