This book presents persuasive arguments in support of public
service and those who work within it. The authors argue that some
services are only appropriate to government control: public safety,
highways, armed and emergency services, parks, and public schools.
Other services are operated/undertaken by government in response to
problems that society and the private sector have failed to solve:
housing, transportation, clean air and water, and so on. In both
instances, the public sector requires complex problem-solving
processesunever simple solutionsuand, despite the negative images
of (bumbling) bureaucrats imprinted on the public consciousness,
Government at Work shows how public servants do difficult jobs
well. Marc Holzer and Kathe Callahan compile evidence that
creativity, productivity, and excellence are not strangers to, but
often characteristic of, government programs. The public sectorAEs
innovative problem-solving should be exploited in the attack on
complex problems as they emerge in our society.
