Among the new class of inductees into the “Longman Classics in Political Science” Series, this Fifth Edition updates and revises Aaron Wildavsky's classic exposition of how federal budget decisions are made and how formal budget institutions and processes are interwoven with political dynamics. This text explains how the federal budget process has evolved and analyzes recent developments in key areas: entitlements, defense, deficit/surplus and reforms. Its critical and stimulating approach and clear, readable explanations make it essential reading for students of politics and public administration, as well as anyone trying to understand a decision-making process that affects virtually all Americans.

Little has been written that would tell anyone how the spending departments, Treasury officials and Cabinet members actually interact with each other and with the world outside to produce the mammoth pattern of public spending. Admirable historical work has given us some knowledge about the control of public monies during former centuries, but evidence on current practices is almost non-existent. The struggle for money continues today and remains as politically informative as ever. This book is about that struggle.

The Politics of Mistrust: Estimating American Oil and Gas Resources

'These chapters are excellent though not definitive interpretations of the history they selectively cover. They offer fresh, insightful, plausible interpretaions of the events and processes they describe. For this reason alone, this book deserves the serious attention of anyone interested in understanding how energy policy got where it is today, understood in terms of players, perspectives, and social epistemology. Its contribution as a study about the persistence of policy conflict under conditions of distrust among the major players is also solid enough because these conditions and consequences are made so arrestingly clear.' -- Policy Sciences Volume 14, Number 3, June 1982

Why do people want what they want? Why does one person see the world as a place to control, while another feels controlled by the world? A useful theory of culture, the authors contend, should start with these questions, and the answers, given different historical conditions, should apply equally well to people of all times, places, and walks of life.Taking their cue from the pioneering work of anthropologist Mary Douglas, the authors of Cultural Theory have created a typology of five ways of life—egalitarianism, fatalism, individualism, hierarchy, and autonomy—to serve as an analytic tool in examining people, culture, and politics. They then show how cultural theorists can develop large numbers of falsifiable propositions.Drawing on parables, poetry, case studies, fiction, and the Great Books, the authors illustrate how cultural biases and social relationships interact in particular ways to yield life patterns that are viable, sustainable, and ultimately, changeable under certain conditions. Figures throughout the book show the dynamic quality of these ways of life and specifically illustrate the role of surprise in effecting small- and large-scale change.The authors compare Cultural Theory with the thought of master social theorists from Montesquieu to Stinchcombe and then reanalyze the classic works in the political culture tradition from Almond and Verba to Pye. Demonstrating that there is more to social life than hierarchy and individualism, the authors offer evidence from earlier studies showing that the addition of egalitarianism and fatalism facilitates cross-national comparisons.
