Budgeting

A skillful balance of application and theory <em>Budgeting: Politics and Power </em> <em>Second Edition</em> is a comprehensive yet highly accessible introduction to the politics of budgeting. Unlike other texts on the subject--which typically focus only on budgeting issues at the federal level--this book emphasizes budgeting at the state and local levels in order to translate budgetary politics in a way that is more relevant to the vast majority of students. Drawing on a wide range of academic disciplines the book also incorporates numerous pedagogical features including case studies in-class exercises discussion and review questions; many charts tables photos and cartoons; a glossary of budgeting terms; and an appendix of key federal budgeting points.
