Bureaucracy and Public Economics brings together in one volume the
classic book and related articles which put forward the first
formal economic theory of the behaviour of bureaucracies. William
Niskanen Jr. has consistently argued that bureaucrats have personal
objectives - that differ from those of both their political
supervisors and the general public - which they further by use of
their monopoly power. He develops his argument to contend that
government budgets have become too large and should be curtailed.
All of Professor Niskanen's major contributions to this field have
been brought together in this one volume including his pioneering
article on 'The Peculiar Economics of Bureaucracy', the full text
of the book 'Bureaucracy and Representative Government' and his
recent reassessment of the larger body of scholarship on the
economics of bureaucracy. Scholars, students and teachers of public
economics will welcome this volume which, by making some of the key
contributions in the field more widely accessible, will provoke
discussion, debate and further research.
