First published in 1980, Public Spending Decisions attempts to
answer some important questions regarding public spending and its
relationship with economic and financial stringency. By the
beginning of the 1970s the expectation of continuing economic
growth had become implicit in the attitudes of politicians,
administrators, and the public in Britain; likewise, the assumption
of the growth of public spending had become embedded in the
machinery and processes of both local and central government. How
then were the local authorities and government departments affected
by the abrupt halt in the growth of public spending during 1970s?
How were the decisions made about the allocation of increasingly
scares resources? How did the treasury ensured that the spending
limits it established were not exceeded and what are the
implications of changes in the attitudes of decision makers towards
the growth of the public sector? The contributors are distinguished
scholars in the field of local and central government. This book is
a must read for scholars of public policy, public administration,
finance, and economics.
