Worried about the future of the American health care system? Worry no more, friends. J. Patrick Rooney and Dan Perrin — two titans of the American healthcare industry — have just released America’s Health Care Crisis Solved: Money Saving Solutions, Coverage For Everyone. The pair argue that Health Savings Accounts are the way to go, and will eventually bring health care costs in line as people learn more about how they can save costs through healthy behavior.

In other nonfiction, Roger Lowenstein offers While America Aged, a book that predicts the next big health crisis is going to involve pension plans that already are bringing down companies like General Motors. Lowenstein is a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal. And in Fixing Failed States, Ashraf Ghani (former employee of the World Bank and United Nations adviser) and Clare Lockhart (director of the Institute for State Effectiveness) argue that the world’s trouble spots can be fixed if the international community come together with national leaders and citizens to map out a practical framework for political and economic stability. Sounds ambitious, and I’m interested to find out how they plan to overcome challenges such as human greed for money and power. — something that drives a lot of the problems in failed states.
