Abstract:
"In this classic, Gaus writes perceptively of the 'ecology' of public administration and its relationship to the rise of the administrative state. He recounts how crises and changes in people, place, physical technology, social technology, and philosophy in the first half of the 20th century led citizens repeatedly to look to government for relief. Politicians, in turn, created or expanded the powers of public agencies." -Journal of Management History.
