Comparative Public Policy: Patterns of Post-War Transformation

A comparative, historical and cross-disciplinary view of post-war era public sector growth, which also examines how that growth is viewed in current times as a form of crisis. A valuable aspect is that the book dispels a number of myths about public policy (for example big government).
