Debt crises have placed strains not only on the European Union's
nascent federal system but also on the federal system in the United
States. Old confrontations over fiscal responsibility are being
renewed, often in a more virulent form, in places as far flung as
Detroit, Michigan, and Valencia, Spain, to say nothing of Greece
and Cyprus. Increasing the complexity of the issue has been public
sector collective bargaining, now a component of most federal
systems. The attendant political controversies have become the
debate of a generation. Paul Peterson and Daniel Nadler have
assembled experts from both sides of the Atlantic to break down the
structural flaws in federal systems of government that have led to
economic and political turmoil. Proposed solutions offer ways to
preserve and restore vibrant federal systems that meet the needs of
communities struggling for survival in an increasingly unified
global economy. Contributors: Andrew G. Biggs (American Enterprise
