The design and use of federal grants-in-aid to state and local
governments have posed policy choices for every presidential
administration since that of Lyndon B. Johnson. The papers in this
volume describe the decisions these administrations have made,
analyze why only some of these choices prevailed politically, and
explain how large amounts of federal aid have affected local
governments.These studies mark the final chapter in a major
research effort carried out by the Brookings Governmental Studies
program to evaluate the effects of general revenue sharing and
other broad-based forms of aid that were introduced in the early
1970s. Kenneth T. Palmer traces the major steps in the evolution of
grants-in-aid since the Johnson administration. Lawrence D. Brown's
essay on the politics of devolution examines the successes and
failures of innovative grant policies such as revenue sharing and
block grants. James W. Fossett, writing on the politics of
dependence, analyzes the effect of the massive expansion of federal
grants to the large cities in the 1970s.
