"For people less familiar with economics and politics, Restore Trust is clearly written for the layperson to understand." -Sungsam-
"A large portion of the latter half of Neff's narrative is spent analyzing the political climate in America today, citing issues such as the disdain felt by each side of the political spectrum toward the other and the finger-pointing in Washington as factors which drive division and perpetuate the welfare state. Neff is ostensibly critical of politicians and their use of tactics like gerrymandering and lobbying to accomplish their goals. He offers some amount of guidance for the confused or fence-sitting individual who is unable to establish their own political views. ... Generally speaking, I find Neff's narrative honest and humble. I sense a genuine desire to see improvement in the state of affairs here in the US. I, as the reviewer, do disagree with Neff on many issues and specifics, but regardless of anyone's particular views, Neff lays out his arguments in a clear and interesting fashion, engaging the reader and forcing him or her to examine the issues in a whole new way." -samadamek1-
"This is a thought-provoking book. The author’s opinions are expressed strongly and with sufficient evidence. In fact, what I liked most about the book is the author’s level of conviction. It showed his concern for the current state of affairs in the U.S. This is one thing that will be an inspiration to others to read this book. It shows that one has observed a problem and realized that something can be done to correct the situation. ... I recommend this book to everyone who likes nonfiction books. It will appeal most to those who are interested in politics. The call to action, made at the end of the book, is made up of small actions that can be applied by anyone. Every citizen of the U.S. should consider reading this book." -Kibetius-
"Neff offers excellent insight into political influences over the last century, which affect America today. He suggests that at one time, each of the political parties was made up of conservatives and liberals. This mixture meant they were capable of governing and agreeing on a policy. However, in the present climate, each party is polarized and disparages the other to the detriment of civil government. ... I recommend it to politicians, the voting public, and students of politics and economics. It could be read by anyone who cares about America’s future and the future of unborn generations. It is a call to action from the heart of an economist." -Abacus-
"Laid out in short and concise arguments, author Werner Neff, cuts to the heart of where the American system has failed to fulfill its promise and potential. From the issues of minimum wage and social programs, to taxation and mis-representation, Werner draws on his global background and historical knowledge to present his reasoned perspective on issues facing our divided country. In addition to his concerns, he charts a course throughout his arguments to correcting our path and restoring balance to the benefit and health of the nation’s economy and its citizens." -Michael V.-
"I’m no economist, but I am deeply concerned about the state of the States. From an inadequate minimum living wage, to a “what’s in it for me” prevailing attitude to a bitter, divided and ineffectual bi-partisan Congress, our democracy is reeling. I think everyone, conservative or liberal, needs to read this book and use it as a guide to bring about meaningful change. Read it and you will be amazed!" -Rabid Reader-
