Most of the essays in this volume have appeared in scholarly journals or in books edited by others. A few are published here for the first time. None has been taken from one of my books. A would-be reader would have to go to much trouble to find them; that is the reason for bringing them together. Collections of essays are frequently miscellanies. This one is not. Except for the final two chapters, all deal with some aspect of the American political system. Some have to do with the structure and functioning of the federal system, others with the nature of publi(}-and incidentally other-organization, and still others with the causes and supposed cures of the social problems that government is nowadays expected to solve or cope with. The two final chapters are about the relationship between economics and political science; for lack of a better term they may be methodological.

The Unheavenly City Revisited : A Revision of the Unheavenly City

Scott,Foresman

In this unusually thought-provoking book, Edward Banfield makes some very telling arguments against public spending for culture and the arts, especially those supplied by the elite institutions. Although there is disagreement with many of his proposals, his questions about cultural policy cannot be ignored. Those who run and fun cultural agencies will have to read this book, and to rethink their objectives, mandates, and rationales as well as their current justifications for public support.
