In Simpler, he illustrates how simplifying regulation saves money, improves health and lengthens lives—and why this is just the beginning. <br /> <br /> On April 5, <a href="http://www.brookings.edu/about/programs/governance">Governance Studies at Brookings</a>, as part of the <a href="http://www.brookings.edu/about/projects/management-and-leadership">Management and Leadership Initiative</a>, hosted a book launch for <em>Simpler: The Future of Government </em>to discuss the streamlining and reimagination of American regulation and rule-making. Moderated by Senior Fellow Elaine Kamarck, Sunstein offered key insights from his book and how to rethink what government can and should accomplish.</p> <p><div class="multimedia"> <object class="BrightcoveExperience"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"></param><param name="width" value="363"></param><param name="height" value="204"></param><param name="playerID" value="1279592582001"></param><param name="playerKey" value="AQ~~,AAAAF8iFxhE~,SybXroYHxkZt10ZvZnJzbBl3jKDZtlO0"></param><param name="isVid" value="true"></param><param name="isUI" value="true"></param><param name="dynamicStreaming" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><param name="templateLoadHandler" value="BROOK.BrightcoveOnTemplateLoaded"></param><param name="includeAPI" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><param name="@videoPlayer" value="ref:20130319_Sunstein1"></param></object><p class="no-player"><a>Download Media</a></p> <div class="caption"> Cass Sunstein Previews New Book, Simpler: The Future of Government <p><a id="embed_89fd8db6-1904-471a-86b0-2d668e24f6e7_videoPlayer_hlRelatedLink"></a></p> </div> </div></p><h4> Video </h4><ul> <li><a href="http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/e1/uds/pd/102148458001/102148458001_2245461425001_20130319-Sunstein1.mp4">Cass Sunstein Previews New Book, Simpler: The Future of Government</a></li> </ul><h4> Audio </h4><ul> <li><a href="http://brightcove.vo.llnwd.net/e1/uds/pd/102148458001/102148458001_2279789221001_130405-Suenstein-64K-itunes.mp3">Simpler: The Future of Government</a></li> </ul><h4> Transcript </h4><ul> <li><a href="/~/media/events/2013/4/05-simpler-sunstein/20130405_simpler_government_transcript.pdf">Uncorrected Transcript (.pdf)</a></li> </ul><h4> Event Materials </h4><ul> <li><a href="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/events/2013/4/05-simpler-sunstein/20130405_simpler_government_transcript.pdf">20130405_simpler_government_transcript</a></li> </ul> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/experts/sunsteinc/~4/xQyt3KhH_ZE" height="1" width="1"/>Fri, 05 Apr 2013 10:00:00 -0400http://www.brookings.edu/events/2013/04/05-simpler-government?rssid=sunsteinc{019A7983-A9B2-4B91-AAB0-D5CB4627BD6E}http://webfeeds.brookings.edu/~r/BrookingsRSS/experts/sunsteinc/~3/vS34lpf2X7A/25-simpler-government-sunstein<div> <img src="http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/images/s/su%20sz/sunstein_qa001/sunstein_qa001_16x9.jpg?w=120" alt="Cass Sunstein " border="0" /><br /><p>Visiting Fellow&nbsp;<a href="http://www.brookings.edu/experts/sunsteinc">Cass Sunstein</a> shares insights from his forthcoming book, <em>Simpler: The Future of Government</em>, which focuses on how government can be more &ldquo;user-friendly,&rdquo; simple and efficient by streamlining and reforming government regulation and rule-making.
