This one’s not about the news. It’s about the disease. And Red Tape Empire is the diagnosis.

If you’ve ever waited six months for a permit, been stonewalled by “staff recommendations,” or watched a city screw up a good deal with ten bad policies, this book was written for you.

In Red Tape Empire by Kevin Crowder, government inefficiency isn’t a punchline. It’s the antagonist. This isn’t dystopian fiction, it’s economic development reality, with names changed to protect the guilty.

In this world: • A planning department kills more businesses than the recession • Elected officials campaign on reform and drown in process • Smart people lose to dumb systems • And a backroom empire of paperwork, process, and petty power games runs everything

Sound familiar? It should. Red Tape Empire is a brutally honest takedown of the bureaucratic rot that crushes entrepreneurs and smothers economic development in real cities every day.

What it’s not: • A TED Talk in book form • A love letter to stakeholder meetings • A hero’s journey for grant writers

What it is: • A laser-guided satire with zero respect for gatekeeping • A gut check for anyone working in city planning, permitting, or economic development • A brutally accurate, wildly entertaining indictment of why your town isn’t growing

Best of all, it’s free on Kindle through midnight tomorrow. Download it. Share it. Text it to the mayor. Print it out and throw it over the fence at your local planning department.
