The Story of How Your Country Works—And Why It Matters to You
Have you ever wondered why your morning coffee costs what it does? Or what actually happens when you pay your taxes? Or who ensures the water from your tap is safe to drink?
In "How America Runs," author Daniel Bulmez takes you on a personal journey through the systems that shape your everyday life—systems you interact with constantly but might rarely notice.
Picture this: Your alarm wakes you at 6 AM. As you scroll through news on your phone, you're engaging with telecommunications regulations and broadcast standards. When you turn on your shower, you're benefiting from local water treatment facilities and EPA guidelines. Your breakfast cereal has a nutrition label mandated by the FDA. And you haven't even left home yet.
Your commute? That highway was funded by a mix of federal and state dollars. The safety features in your car exist because of government standards. Even the podcast you listen to travels through airwaves licensed by the FCC.
What makes this book essential for you:
-
Discover how your tax dollars translate into the services you use daily
-
Understand why your healthcare costs what it does and how policy affects your coverage
-
Learn how your vote influences decisions about your community's schools, roads, and safety
-
See the invisible connections between your job, the global economy, and trade policies
-
Gain clarity on issues that dominate your news feed but often seem confusing
"When I received my first property tax bill, I had no idea where that money actually went," writes one reader. "After reading this book, I not only understand my local government better, but I feel empowered to participate in town meetings because I finally know how the system works."
Whether you're frustrated by government inefficiency, curious about how policies are really made, or simply want to be a more informed citizen, Bulmez offers you a clear-eyed explanation of American systems without partisan spin.

As you turn each page, you'll recognize parts of your own life reflected in the mechanics of America. You'll see how decisions made in Washington, your state capitol, or your local city hall directly impact your family's opportunities, your neighborhood's development, and your financial future.
"How America Runs" doesn't just explain how America works—it shows you your place within it and how you can navigate its systems more effectively.
Your country, your systems, finally explained.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
