About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Bureaucracy and Reform

Pinkerton's "Bugs" in the Bureaucracy
Reform
  • Reinvented Government, operating more like a business, with performance measures
  • Government by Network, contracting out the work.
  • Government by Market, creating a market driver to change the behavior of a large group or people, e.g. putting a bounty on cans and bottles.
Reinvention video here and here.
