In "Believe in People," Charles Koch, a titan of industry and an unexpected advocate for change, extends an invitation to reconsider the means with which society addresses its most daunting challenges. Koch, alongside Stand Together CEO Brian Hooks, argues for a radical shift from the prevalent top-down approaches that have long dictated public policy and economic practices, towards a grassroots methodology that places faith in the inherent potential of individuals. This compelling narrative is not merely philosophical but is grounded in the tangible successes of Koch's own ventures and the transformative stories of those who have been uplifted by this ideology. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, historical case studies, and a robust critique of current societal systems, the book presents a blueprint for fostering an inclusive society that empowers everyone to achieve their fullest potential. "Believe in People" challenges readers to look beyond partisan divides and conventional solutions, advocating for a partnership that spans across ideological spectrums to create sustainable change. It is a manifesto for those who dare to envision a society built on the bedrock of mutual respect, opportunity, and a shared belief in the transformative power of people.

I was especially fascinated by the second law of thermodynamics, which holds that entropy virtually always increases in a closed system. Entropy is a measure of disorder or uselessness. In lay terms, this means that progress stalls or declines when something is walled off from the outside world. Usually
