Steven Kelman/"Making Public Policy"
(6 Pages, 71.7 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 6 page analysis of Steven Kelman's book "Making Public Policy." In this book, Kelman argues the rather unfashionable view that—all in all- the role that government plays in the lives of American citizens is "more worthy admiration and faith" than of "dislike and cynicism." Kelman's basic thesis is that for the policy-making process to function well, there has to be high levels of public spirit on the part of the citizens who participate in that process. The writer discusses this, as well as what others say about this text. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Competitive Market / Public Goods
(2 Pages, 23.9 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 2 page paper discussing the inability of the competitive market to greatly affect public goods. Though there are areas that government function can provide greater benefits than would exist without that government involvement, government nonetheless in many cases interferes with the ability of the competitive market to contribute to efficiency in the production of public goods. These inefficiencies are less problematic than would be providing duplicate public goods such as highways and bridges for the sole purpose of competition between the two. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Negating Supply and Demand
(2 Pages, 23.9 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 2 page paper evaluating the statement, "prices ought to be equal to marginal cost." Without the provision of equal access, public goods can all too quickly become club or even private goods that have been provided at the expense of all taxpayers while not being available to all taxpayers. Prices need to be equal with marginal costs so that the public entity neither loses in or inordinately profits from either the provision or the maintenance of the public good. Otherwise, the good can become exclusionary and therefore not a truly public good meant for the benefit of all taxpayers. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Efficient Production of Public Goods
(2 Pages, 23.9 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 2 page paper discussing whether majority vote can lead to efficient provision of public goods. Majority vote can result in efficient provision of public goods, but generally only to the extent that the majority votes to provide full funding without quibbling. It would appear that strong leadership also would be necessary, or that the public good under consideration is one that the majority feels strongly about. Otherwise, the potential for majority involvement providing a club good instead is strong. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Compromise as an Enabler of Enduring Public Policy
(5 Pages, 59.75 $ (USD) )
|
|
A 5 page paper discussing whether compromise has helped or hindered formation of public policy. An ideal world likely would be one in which issues were either black or white, good or bad. Compromise results in varying shades of gray with which neither side is truly happy, but all can find workable. Without compromise in determining public policy, immobilization results and the society makes very little progress toward anything but stagnation. While compromise may not always appear attractive, it is nonetheless the most efficient and workable route toward progress and growth. The paper uses James Madison's compromise with The Bill of Rights as an example. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
