Description
One of the first books to tackle the issue of public revenue-bond authorities, a sort of "off-balance-sheet" form of government that proliferated at the state and local levels through the 1970s with little oversight and accountability. Supposedly more "business-like" than traditional government departments and agencies, authorities nevertheless proved to be prone to the same sins, from cronyism to corruption -- in part because, in the name of being business-like, they pruned away many of the anti-corruption measures that were traditional government's response to generations of scandal. -- Amazon.com.
