This Second Edition of Kettl's landmark work on public budgeting has been completely updated and is now part of the "Longman Classics in Political Science" series.
Deficit Politics, as part of the Longman Classics series, features a new Foreword by Ross K. Baker of Rutgers University. The rest of the text has been completely updated. Like the original, the Second Edition puts deficit politics at the center of our political system and explores the politics of public budgeting with special attention to its historical roots (what are the traditional battles over budgeting?), economic impact (how do budgets steer the economy?), and the role of political institutions (how do presidents and members of Congress, in particular, resolve the political tradeoffs that lie at the core of budgetary policy?).
