So you're intentionally exaggerating when you say "nothing has changed". Yeah nothing has changed, except an entire Executive Branch department that didn't exist before. It was more influential than many other books written at the time.
Of course the author wanted the book to be even more influential, that's why authors write. No writer says "this book kinda sucks, I hope people read half of it and put it down".
