The rise of big government in the United States

The Rise of Big Government in the United States chronicles the phenomenal growth of local, state, and federal government over the last one hundred years. The authors argue that public and social acceptance (even demand) for government intervention has permitted a strong government role at all levels of the economy. Their argument takes issue with the claim that government has grown by itself and by the bureaucracy's constant push for its own expansion.
