Bureaucracy: What Government Agencies Do and Why They Do It

ANNOTATION

A leading expert explains what government bureaucracies do and why they behave the way they do.

FROM THE CRITICS

Tom Peters

Wilson is a remarkably clear thinker. It is unlikely that anyone in the foreseeable future will master so much research about so many agencies at government level.

Martha Derthick

The synthesis is shrewd and creative. The prose is uncommonly swift. The fresh insights are abundant and compelling.

Aaron Wildavsky

Immediately takes its place as the indispensable one-volume guide to American national administration.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

Wilson is our Weber and this is his summa ...a sprightly, irreverent, and profoundly serious inquiry as to how you make a nation work.

R. Cort Kirkwood

A gold mine of interesting, even unique observations about bureaucratic government on all levels.
