Thickening Government: Federal Hierarchy and the Diffusion of Accountability First edition
Paul C. Light
This work describes the increase in management layers of the US government over the past 50 years and its paralyzing effect on reform efforts. The author shows how the "thickening" of government bureaucracy has come about, and how it diminishes direct presidential control over what happens below.
