Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is an account of the struggle over resources and political authority is to be found in the politics surrounding the budgetary process. This text analyzes the management of the United States budget from the early 20th century to the present. The budget process is the primary subject of the work, but is also the framework within which the separation of executive (nationally derived) and legislative (locally derived) powers is examined. The book sees the politics of budget as the defining characteristic or culmination of executive-legislative powers and is also valuable for its historical treatment of the budget process. It describes the history of budgetary conflict, and the battle for control of administrative apparatus, from the days of Jefferson and Hamilton to the Nixon White House, through to the present. Other topics include: reorganization and reaction; budgeting and reform; the administrative state and the crisis of constitutional government; and reorganization and reform.

5.0 out of 5 stars Understanding the Administrative State, April 16, 2001
By edward estrellado (Reno, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
In this philosophical work on budget control politics, Professor Marini explains how the executive budget provided the practical means for the implementation of the administrative state.(AKA: The Nanny State or the The Bureaucratic State.) Marini however, goes beyond other critiques of the administrative state by demonstrating that state theory is in direct opposition to and hostile towards the natural rights theory of American constitutionalism. The question Marini will force careful readers to ponder is this: If the purpose of constitutionalism is the prevention of tyranny, what is the goal of the administrative state?

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must-have" for studing public budgeting & admin theory, November 5, 1999
By A. M. Harris (Reno, Nevada USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Dr. Marini, a professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, explores the tensions arising from an "administrative state" within a constitutional regime of separated powers. He concludes that "the federal budget has come to be the principal instrument of politics in the American administrative state" (Preface, p. xii). This book should be included in the core required readings for the study and understanding of public budgeting, administrative theory and administrative bureaucracy.
