State governments are spending a lot, accomplishing too little, and failing to meet their responsibilities to the public. In this book, John Brandl argues that the usual remedies for ineffective government bureaucracycutting or adding to budgets, urging civil servants to become more entrepreneurial, hiring tougher managers, or appointing smarter bureaucratswon't provide substantial, longterm improvement. Examining public schools Brandl points out that although real spending per student has tripled in the last 30 years and the average class size has shrunk from 27 to 17, educational performance ''has become a national disgrace.'' He provides alternative policies that rely on harnessing selfinterest through competition and incentives and encouraging affiliations that inspire community to forge a strong connection between spending and results.'
