Features: "Public Budget Classics (Volume 2) – The Path of Modern Budgeting" is a comprehensive collection of classic and cutting-edge literature, introducing readers to the theoretical foundations of public budget history. Among the 43 articles in this book, 14 are new, reflecting current trends: 1) budgetary reforms such as the line-item veto and biennial budgeting; 2) the progress of new public management, including credit vouchers and activity-based costing derived from the Government Performance Results Act; 3) fiscal evaluations of state and federal governments. Each major section of the book begins with an introduction that provides historical context for the articles. The appendix includes two highly valuable foundational materials: Stanley Collender's "Federal Budget as a Foreign Language" and the Congressional Budget Office's "Long-Term Budget Outlook."
