This Second Edition of Kettl's landmark work on public budgeting has been completely updated and is now part of the “Longman Classics in Political Science” series.

Deficit Politics, as part of the Longman Classics series, features a new Foreword by Ross K. Baker of Rutgers University. The rest of the text has been completely updated. Like the original, the Second Edition puts deficit politics at the center of our political system and explores the politics of public budgeting with special attention to its historical roots (what are the traditional battles over budgeting?), economic impact (how do budgets steer the economy?), and the role of political institutions (how do presidents and members of Congress, in particular, resolve the political tradeoffs that lie at the core of budgetary policy?).

  • A readable, common-sense approach to technical issues makes this text's material accessible to every student, regardless of background. No prior familiarity with budgetary topics is assumed, nor is any previous coursework in economics.
  • Coverage of the budget process as well as the product creates a framework for understanding not only the present budget situation, but future budgetary battles, as well.
  • The text's brief, inexpensive format makes it appropriate as a supplement for a variety of courses.

  • Foreword by Ross K. Baker of Rutgers University.
  • The revision explores President Clinton's battles with Congress over the deficit.
  • Examines how the projected ten-year surplus evaporated, almost overnight, in 2001 as a case study of the impact of forcasting on the budget.
  • Examines new options for “fixing” social security.
  • All data and figures are updated.
