Khan Aman, Hildreth W. Bartley (eds.) Budget Theory in the Public Sector

USA: Greenwood Publishing Group, 2002. — 298 p. — ISBN: 1–56720–281–0.Public budgeting, as a field of study, has grown tremendously in recent years both in form and substance. With such growth comes a need to have a coherent theory or body of theories that allows one to understand the field, its essential core that guides its development, and its scope for dealing with real world problems.
Each of the chapters presented in this book tells us, in its own way, how much we have traveled over the years to where we are. They also tell us, in its own way, how much more we need to travel and of the endless journey we will have to make along the path that will only grow richer.Budget Theory for a New Centuryь // Lance T.
