Why Does Government Need to be Funded? is a book about money and wealth written anonymously under the pseudonym Amphidromus. The book explains the current role of the government and identifies weaknesses in the current system. The author raises concerns about government funding in this work.

The author has travelled extensively and read widely. His vast knowledge base in multiple subjects becomes clear as he discusses concepts using quotes from various works of literature. He simplifies and connects such notions to propose changes in how money and wealth are perceived. To explain and justify his question, the author has employed concepts from structurally faulty sociology, automated fine-tuning of nature, basic principles of nature, laws of physics, God the creator and cosmology, economics, politics, and more. The author has revealed information on his wife's metaphysical encounter and a few of his other travels with rather unsettling circumstances. I concur with his assessment of operations in Singapore, as we had a similar experience there.

The author has used several in-depth explanations to further his argument. He has spoken extensively about the conflict between liberty and justice. He highlights the complexities of politics and politicians. He strongly opines that utopia is nearly impossible unless the recommended changes are adopted. He is a staunch believer that liberty comes before opportunity and that structural flaws are fatal, and if left unaddressed, the system will collapse. He has shared an instance to justify why an oppressive government is fiercer than a tiger. He emphasised the need for enforcing rules to defend liberty and questioned the will of the people in power in deciding how they use it. He has highlighted why the humble are the most important and not the other way around with an example of prokaryotes. He has spoken about the importance of the cost of labour in the scheme of things and how ignoring entry-level workers would have negative impacts that would cascade around the globe. He has suggested sustainable ways to disburse and regenerate funds equal to the GDP, other ways to appreciate labour, and a better calculation to execute pensions. One must read it to find out what the author considers to be the two most vital functions of the government.

He has presented organisational ideas that make perfect sense based on his knowledge of money and wealth. One would ask why these are not already the cornerstones of fundamental governance and how money and wealth are perceived.

I would not recommend this book for beginners due to its heavy vocabulary. Only a newbie, eager to learn the subject matter and willing to use the dictionary, can keep pace with the context and try to succeed. Readers who dislike consulting a dictionary should skip this one. Extremely sophisticated terminology and long sentences made it difficult to comprehend the message, particularly in the first three chapters. Hence, I would rate the book 4 stars out of 5 stars. The editing is adequate, except for minor typos that do not disrupt the flow.

This book is excellent for anyone interested in finance, politics, or governance. It can prove insightful for those in government who can push for implementing these proposals. Youngbloods, passionate politicians, and changemakers should also take note.

This book sounds amazing, although the use of bogus words might discourage me. It ruins the flow, having to pick up a dictionary every two minutes. Nice review though, It's superbly written

[Diana Lowery]

I think I fit into the category of this book having too much new vocabulary for me. I appreciate your informative review.

[Mayang Bature]

Your review was accurate and I agree with you about the use of big words. I didn't enjoy that aspect because I was constantly searching for contextual clues. This was a well written review.

Thank you so much for your warm words. I hope an easy-to-read and absorb version is also released and distributed to the general public and government officials.

[Thangam 1212]

This is not a subject of my interest. Looks like it is a book meant for the crowd interested in politics governance and economics. Also I like simple to read and comprehend book. This book, I will have to pass. Thank you for a detailed review.

[VPNair]

This is an interesting subject. Although it is a book for US audiences, governance is a universal subject. There surely will be something for everyone. Nice and indepth review.

[Nisha DSouza]

Your review was well-summarized and well-balanced. Although it seems like an important topic, it is not really one that I enjoy much. So, I will skip this book.

It's definitely not for the regular person, which is fitting for a book that looks at the econo-politi-societal level. The author seems like a very knowledgeable person. Excited to learn more!

[Gerry Steen]

Nothing turns me off more than the use of long sentences in a book. For me, long sentences tend to lose their meaning the longer they are. This requires the reader to reread the sentence. However, the arguments in this book seem to be thought provoking and may shed light on alternative ways of managing life's affairs. I am adding this book to my bookshelves.

[Anu Anand]

The ideas in this book sound intense but important, especially how it questions current systems and connects liberty with the value of labour. I found the part about ignoring entry-level workers causing global impact really interesting. Thanks for the thoughtful review. @Seetha E
