Description
Gordon Tullock's Bureaucracy presents two influential works on the subject in one volume. Published in 1965, The Politics of Bureaucracy challenged the common view that bureaucracy serves the public good with objectivity and omniscience. In contrast, Economic Hierarchies, Organization and the Structure of Production (1992) offers a new perspective on bureaucracy, drawing on developments in industrial organization theory since its initial publication. By comparing politics and economics, Tullock demonstrates that corporations generally perform more efficiently than government bureaus. This book provides access to both perspectives, offering insights into the nature of bureaucracy and its implications for public administration. Tullock was a prominent economist and scholar, with a distinguished career at several universities and as the founder of the journal Public Choice.
