So it's a book for everybody.
I mean, you've got to care a little bit about economics.
You've got to care a little bit about politics to be into- No, I do think it's a book about everyone.
Yeah, and I think that there are personal things that we can all learn from when are these people at their most effective for our own businesses, whether you work – wherever you work, in a business, in government, whatever you're doing.

I mean, the stats are coming out about the amount of money saved.
And it is so modest.
