## Description

The Price of Government: Getting the Results We Need in an Age of Permanent Fiscal Crisis [Osborne, David, Hutchinson, Peter] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Price of Government: Getting the Results We Need in an Age of Permanent Fiscal Crisis

Review: He's Back - There was a movement to learn and apply the best, most efficient practices of government and study it in a practical way in the 80s and 90s. David Osborne was among this group. A more analytical public administration in a more statistical sense has taken over in academia and done very little to practically change government. However, the insights Osborne and his compatriots make still works whenever a new politician, ignorant of the preexisting compilations of best practices, stumbles upon the same idea. Ted Gaebler is another good one, but Osborne is excellent.
Review: Great insight to municipal finance - Excellent book for anyone wanting to understand municipal finance.
