The Politics of Public Budgeting: Getting and Spending, Borrowing and Balancing

Public budgeting is inherently political. Â In The Politics of Public Budgeting, author Irene S. Rubin lays out the actors involvedâ€“interest groups, public officials, legislators, and the publicâ€“and shines a light on how these groups, who each have their own goals, are able to bargain and barter their way to a resolution. The new Eighth Edition examines the budgeting process over time and sets issues like the federal deficit and health care expenditures in political and comparative context. Â As in previous editions, the book also draws on examples from all levels of government and emphasizes the relationships among them. By carefully analyzing each strand of the decision-making process, Rubin shows the extraordinary cooperation involved in passing a budget and achieving accountability.
