More Human: Designing a World Where People Come First

ratings on Goodreads

In "More Human," Steve Hilton delivers a compelling critique of the modern world's sprawling systems, from government and business to daily life and our relationship with the environment. Arguing that these systems have become excessively vast, impersonal, and disconnected from human scale, Hilton, a visiting professor at Stanford University and former senior adviser to Prime Minister David Cameron, makes a powerful case for reorienting our lives and institutions towards more human-centric values. Drawing upon a rich array of research, real-world case studies, and his vast experience at the nexus of politics and academia, Hilton not only diagnoses the deep structural issues plaguing our society but also offers an optimistic roadmap for change. Through engaging narratives and persuasive examples spanning industries, politics, education, and social initiatives around the globe, "More Human" is both a manifesto and a practical guide for creating more local, accountable, and humane systems that prioritize people over processes, leading to greater productivity, fulfillment, and happiness. This book is an urgent call to action for anyone seeking to reclaim a sense of community, connection, and control in an increasingly inhuman world.

Sir John Cowperthwaite was the financial secretary of Hong Kong in the 1960s and the man widely credited with creating the conditions for its phenomenal economic success. When asked what advice he would give to a poor country trying to get richer, he said, “They should abolish the Office of National Statistics.” Cowperthwaite believed that the collection of economic data simply encouraged governments and bureaucrats to needlessly and destructively interfere in the economy, so he refused.
