Budgetary Politics in American Governments

By James J. Gosling

Book Overview

Unlike most public budgeting texts, Budgetary Politics in American Governments takes a comparative approach to the subject of public budgeting, examining budgetary politics at the federal, state, and local government levels. Topics include the budgetary decision-making process, taxation, spending, budget execution, and financial management as well as the budget process at each level of government. Thoroughly updated but preserving much of the third edition's structure and approach, this fourth edition contains a new chapter that introduces students to the interrelationship of economics and politics in budgeting.
