Making Budgets: Public Resource Allocation (SAGE Library of Social Research)

By James N. Danziger

Tackles an aspect of social-political behaviour which has been of growing concern to both students and practitioners of the political process: what determines the distribution of public financial resources? For empirical material, Danziger uses the British county boroughs.

′...few studies, if any, can match James Danziger′s Making Budgets for sophistication of design and conceptualization, logic and care in execution, and clarity in exposition...A masterful synthesis of existing literature on budgetary resource allocation, in the context of an original and beautifully developed budgetary analysis.′ -- The Journal of Politics, Vol 41, 1979

′It is a pleaure to write a review of this book for it is, quite simply, one of the best works of its kind written about Britain.′ -- Political Studies, March 1980
