Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A comprehensive, clear, and valuable account of the exceedingly complex history of federal budgeting. Ippolito succeeds admirably."
--Louis Fisher, Congressional Research Service
"Dennis Ippolito has written another important book on the federal budget. . . . One genuine achievement of the book is the organization of a massive amount of information into historical periods that correspond with larger developments in American politics. Ippolito combines secondary sources with extensive references to government fiscal documents to map budget decisions over time, identify changes in major priorities, and link budget decisions to broader developments in United States domestic and foreign policy."--Daniel J Palazzolo, Perspectives on Politics
"A comprehensive, clear, and valuable account of the exceedingly complex history of federal budgeting. Ippolito succeeds admirably."
