False Alarm: Why the Greatest Threat to Social Security and Medicare is the Campaign to “Save” Them. By Joseph White. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001. 320p. $42.50.

American Political Science Review (2002)

James R. Simmons

Few public policy issues have drawn more popular attention, generated more media commentary, or produced more books than the national debate over the dark fate of Social Security and Medicare. In a new book, noted policy scholar Joseph White argues that the “entitlement crisis” and the future insolvency projected by so many experts, politicians, and opinion makers are myths that badly need exploding. White insists that although we should be very concerned about the viability of each of these two essential government programs, we should not be carried away by the hysteria amplified by radical reformers and saviors of every political coloration. Rather, we should attempt to formulate a clear-eyed analysis of the purposes and constraints of social insurance that will produce genuine programmatic solutions that do not radically weaken the nation's social safety net.

Bureaucracy, Economic Theories of

Routledge eBooks (2007)

James R. Simmons

Economic theories of bureaucracy begin with the assumption that people who act in a self-interested way in the marketplace are the same people who vote, run for office, and are employed in the public sector. Government officials and civil servants are portrayed as acting to advance their own private agendas in the name of the "public interest." The primary implication drawn from this perspective is that the collective political process fails because participants are responding to incentives other than those assumed by conventional theory. Economic reasoning promises a logical deductive model of how public agencies behave with clear directions for policy analysis and simple normative recommendations for reform.
